|
I believe in the only, |
|
we're supposed to be lonely, |
|
no wonder we're never alone, |
|
I've been watching the star signs, |
|
recording my sight lines, |
|
from windows I shut to hide. |
|
I've been watching the air sleep, |
|
to see how the time slips past, |
|
the living keep falling away, |
|
so I stay in this watch tower, |
|
to wait for a safer hour, |
|
enclosed in mortar and stone. |
|
The walls are starting to crack, |
|
how could they hold back? |
|
the waves have always broken through, |
|
but, yeh, I needed proof, 'cos I have been lied to, |
|
these walls are all that I know. |
|
I can leave, I can leave, by my own mouth, |
|
go ahead tear down this old doubt, |
|
the room's already outgrown, |
|
just don't tell me what don't exist, |
|
outside where the darkness is, |
|
when the ground starts trembling through. |
|
The walls are starting to crack, |
|
they couldn't hold back, |
|
these ways have always broken through, |
|
yeh, I needed proof, |
|
'cos I have been lied to, |
|
these walls are all that I know. |
