Walls

The walls of the theater are higher than me They're higher than you'll ever be The walls of my house touch the top of my head The ceiling is bending in I sit in an armchair I hold my knees together Where did you run away to I remember bloodshot eyes You talked about open skies Your old soul has faded into new But you're still in the walls In the walls In the walls I can feel you trying to crawl Trying to crawl out You used to be a screamer and a dreamer Now you're nothing at all But you're still in the walls In the walls In the walls The walls of your buildings are larger than life They're nothing like I've ever seen I thought if I look closely I might see you Floating above in the wind But there's lines around your mouth And lines in your head Shaped like a picket fence Are you everything you thought you would ever be See I think you've forgotten But you're still in the walls In the walls In the walls I can feel you trying to crawl Trying to crawl out You used to be a screamer and a dreamer Now you're nothing at all But you're still in the walls In the walls In the walls The sun setting and rising Your mother didn't come home last night The big orange field The boy in the back The endless open light Are you just a warning of what is after the storm comes down Well I too Well I do become warning to the ground (Will I be warning to the ground) Will I be in the walls In the walls In the walls Trying to crawl Trying to crawl out Someone who was a screamer and a dreamer And now nothing at all But still in the walls In the walls In the walls
