Lyrics

The Wall

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 took on more than I could handle

I bit off more than I could chew

I hit the wall

I went off like a Roman candle

Burning everyone I knew

I hit the wall

I hit the wall

And the wall came down

Crashing down

And there was not a sound

Half my life riding on a rocket

From one world to the next

And on and on

I hit the wall

Taking things to make it make me better

Remembering things I never knew I knew

I hit the wall

I hit the wall

And the wall came down

Crashing down

And there was not a sound

And the wall came down

Roaring, crashing down

And there was not a sound

And the wall came down

Crashing down

And there was not a sound
