Lyrics
Walls
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some days we get a thrill in our brains
Some days it turns into malaise
You see your face in the veneer
Reflected on the surface of fear
Because you know we're better than that
But some days we're worse than you can imagine
And how am I supposed to live with that
With all these train wrecks coming at random
Hey, what are you gonna do
When those walls are falling down
Falling down on you?
Hey, what are you gonna do
When those walls are falling down
Falling down on you?
You got warheads stacked in the kitchen
You treat distraction like it's a religion
With a rattlesnake step in your rhythm
We do the best with the souls we've been given
Because you know we're nothing special to them
We're going some place they've already been
Trying to make sense of what they call wisdom
And this riff raff ain't laughing with them
Hey, what are you gonna do
When those walls are falling down
Falling down on you?
Hey, what are you gonna do
When those walls are falling down
Falling down on you?
You’re wearing all of the years on your face
You have a tombstone you mourn in the place
And your heart only speaks in a murmur
But your words ringin' out just like murder
