Walls · letra

Intro

Are you listening? We write a thousand pages, they're torn and on the floor Headlights hammer the windows, we're locked behind these doors And we are never leaving, this place is part of us And all these scenes repeating are cold to the touch

Verse 1

My hands seem to deceive me when I'm nervous or when I'm Healthy, the scenery's all drawn They hang here from the walls dear, painting pictures, bleeding Colors, blanket the windows

Chorus

Sometimes it gets so hard to breathe Your eyes see right through me

Post-Chorus

These fights with your arms left beside It's one thing, and one more says goodnight You've got the map, come get to me These knuckles break before they bleed Tear out these veins that own my heart This skin that wears your lasting marks I've built these walls, come get to me Come get to me

Verse 2

Is this your lesson, a slight discretion, the lines that keep you, the Lines that sweep you, lock the doors from the inside Your face is so contagious, it wears announcements, it leaves me Breathless, I won't forget this, I won't forget

Chorus

Sometimes it gets so hard to breathe Your eyes see right through me

Bridge

Let the walls have their say Let the walls have their say Let the walls have their say Let the walls have their say Let the walls have their say Have their say

Breakdown

There's no conversation, words without remorse And this television drowns the only source Wake from these dreams of you in my arms To the staircase where you hold my heart

Outro

This place, these walls mean everything to me
