barrier Lyrics

I was surrounded by walls

I saw the front door wide open

And then the house closed itself

It's got a, mind of it's own

I could see through all my windows

Until the curtains breathed, and sighed

They drew shut as I was banging on the glass

Yeah they blocked every single pane (pain)

The lighting's dim I can hear the tile laughing as I walk

As I stumble in the dark

The walls closed in

Told me that there's

"Nowhere else that's safer than here"

I know they're mocking me

The only thing that I, could see

Was a glint of light through the door

Yeah it was blinding me and burned in my eyes

And still I tried

But the walls that surrounded my exit

They locked me inside

They were daring me to break them

But I, failed again

So I'll stay inside my barrier

Stay inside my barrier

Stay inside my barrier

Stay inside my barrier

I'll stay inside my barrier

So I was lying on the floor

And then it grabbed me

I caught a glimpse of someone in the mirror

I don't even recognize them

I want to forget them

But I just can't stop thinking about them

Why did they look back at me?

Was there something on my face?

Was there something right behind me?

I'll make a knock

And shatter the glass, to ask them personally

To ask them personally

The lighting's dim I can hear the tile laughing as I walk

As I stumble in the dark

The walls closed in

Told me that there's

"Nowhere else that's safer than here"

I know they're mocking me

The only thing that I, could see

Was a glint of light through the door

Yeah it was blinding me and burned in my eyes

And still I tried

But the walls that surrounded my exit

They locked me inside

They were daring me to break them

But I, failed again

So I'll stay inside my barrier

Stay inside my barrier

Stay inside my barrier

Stay inside my barrier

I'll stay inside my barrier

(I'm telling you, these walls are funny)

(At first, you despise them)

(Then, you get used to them)

(And then, once enough time has passed)

(You've grown to depend on them)
