These Walls

This is so hard for me
to find the words to say
My Thoughts are standing still

Captive inside of me
all emotions start to hide
and nothing´s getting through

Watch me
Fading
I´m losing
All my instincts
Falling into darkness


Tear down these Walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I´m holding back

It´s not too late for me
To keep from sinking further
I´m trying to find my way out
Tear down these Walls for me now


So much uncertainty
I don´t like this feeling
I´m sinking like a stone

Each time I try to speak
There´s a voice I´m hearing
And it changes everything

Watch me
Crawl from
The wreckage
Of my silence
Conversation
Failing


Tear down these Walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I´m holding back

It´s not too late for me
To keep from sinking further
I´m trying to find my way out
Tear down these Walls


Every time you choose to turn away
Is it worth the price you pay?
Is there someone who will wait for you?
One more time
One more time

Watch me
Fading
I´m losing
All my instincts
Falling into darkness


Tear down these Walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I´m holding back

It´s not too late for me
To keep from sinking further
I´m trying to find my way out
Tear down the Walls for me now


Tear down these Walls for me
It´s not too late for me
Tear down these Walls for me
