lyrics

Wallpaper is peeling
Paint is chipped on the door
Tiles are loose in the ceiling
How my feet hate this floor

I will do as you order
When I'm inside these walls
But beyond that there border
You don't stand so tall

My heart has gone somewhere to never return
Wasn't usin' it anyway guess it finally learned
It ain't wise to come back here no it ain't safe at all
You won't catch my heart here again not inside these walls

Watch the clock as it's ticking
Freedom ain't far away
How the pace seems to quicken
As your grip starts to fade

I will build me a fortress
Far away from this place
Already know I'll adore it
My heart will guide the way
