When did the walls grow this tall

And the darkness begin to fall?

When did I lose the sense of control?

How much can I overcome?

And I’m lying here

I’m tired I’m worn

It comes from within

It’s taking me over

It’s making me weak

Brought my doubts to the surface

It’s leaving me helpless with no air to breathe

I belong to the shallow

To the ones who praise and retreat

I stumble and falter

Who’s there to catch me when I stumble?

Reduce the pain of my fall?

Be my embrace of comfort?

And the voice that ease it all?

And I’m lying here

So tired so torn

Threat comes from within

It’s taking me over

It’s making me weak

Brought my doubts to the surface

It’s leaving me helpless with no air to breathe

I belong to the shallow

To the ones who praise and retreat

I stumble and falter

And it’s taking me over

For as long as I remember

I fought this war alone

And the blood on my hands, the weight of the cross

Are bricks in a wall

Built from vengeance

It’s taking me over

It’s making me weak

Brought my doubts to the surface

It’s leaving me helpless with no air to breathe

I belong to the shallow

To the ones who praise and retreat

I stumble and falter
