Lyrics
Fences
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.
I'm sitting in a room
Made up of only big white walls
And in the halls
There are people looking through
The window in the door
Though they know exactly what we're here for
Don't look up just let them think
There's no place else you'd rather be
You're always on display
For everyone to watch and learn from
Don't you know by now
You can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have
It's obvious that you're dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera's lying
And oh oh open wide
'Cause this is your night so smile
'Cause you'll go out in style
You'll go out in style
If you let me I could
I'd show you how to build your fences
Set restrictions
Separate from the world
The constant battle that you hate to fight
Just blame the limelight
Don't look up just let them think
There's no place else you'd rather be
And now, you can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have
It's obvious that you're dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera's lying
And oh oh open wide
'Cause this is your night so smile
Yeah, yeah, you're asking for it
With every breath that you breathe in
Just breathe it in
Yeah, yeah, well you're just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let's see you walk in
I said let's see you walk in
Yeah, yeah, well you're just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let's see you walk in
I said let's see you walk in
It's obvious that you're dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera's lying
And, oh, oh, open wide
You're, oh, oh, open wide
You're oh oh open wide
'Cause you'll go out in style
You'll go out in style
