Lyrics
Behind The 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.
Tunnels, do you partake, do you forsake in the great divide
Ostracized, so all that remains in the shadows is an empty smile
Criticized, traumatized, an evil so deep that watches you sleep
The true sacrifice, oh true sacrifice
When you're crashing down
Tumbling to the ground
I'll break the fall
Did you ever love me?
Did you ever love you?
Shapeshift, carefully morphing the demons in your mind
A sinister frown turned upside down only lasts for a while
Tell me, dear mother, is this our father the spirit and holy ghost
And when will it end, this bleeding within, you can't disguise
When you're crashing down
Tumbling to the ground
I'll break the fall
Did you ever love me?
Did you ever love you?
Hide, behind the walls
No savior or prayer can protect you
When you're crashing down
Tumbling to the ground
Did you ever love me?
Did you ever love you?
Did you ever love me?
Did you ever love you?
