Subtle poison slips through my veins
A dark cloud inside of me
It hovers slow till you finally know
I'm waiting just to set it free
Whoa the walls are closing in right on you
What are you gonna do now
The walls are closing in right on you
What did you think I would do now
Hey, come on
What I wanted still evades me
A black fog behind me
I think it will be over my shoulder
Pushin' me so very near
Now the walls are closing in right on you
What are you gonna do now
The walls are closing in right on you
What did you think I would do now
Hey, they're closing in right on you, yeah
Subtle poison slips through my veins
A dark cloud inside of me
It hovers slow til you finally know
I'm waiting just to set it free
Well the walls are closing in right on you
What are you gonna do now
The walls are closing in right on you
