If these walls had words
I'd fear the things they'd say when I'm not around
Crashing image, painting me failure
Because I've sold myself a slave
A slave to a cause that holds no end
And still I am nothing short of being broken hearted,
Thieving wings from innocence departed
Locking eyes with hopes I just can't kill,
Staring at shoes that I may never fill
My wish, I wish, I'm wishing for the day
When I can break these chains, and take to the sky
But now it seems my humanity is too much for me,
I'm watching freedom pass me by
We're told that life is learning,
But all I'm learning is that life is full of holes
We're told the past is burning, tides are turning,
There is no place we cannot go
Then why am I stuck here with one foot in heaven
A foot in hell and a heart that's in between?
Stomach disgust, mourn inspiration lost
It's all I have to rise up and stir the war inside of me
A fight that holds no end
But I'm not dead, no I'm not dead
