[Joseph I sit up at night, it's at three or four. Blood drippin' my knuckles from knockin' skin on drywall. I see a like flashlights under chins, The more I blink the it happens again. Damn, victims from '89, Floatin' their on the wall like it's the last time. see 'em again the same time everynight. The wall gets bigger with every daylight.
Spanolio] Are closin' in on me? confinin' me of me There's an emptiness won't go away.
Yeah, I said that I was right inside my mind, But I'm sure time I to climb the walls I'm sure that over I learned to right all of my wrongs. Sure right, Four reflectin' my life Every I sit and watch the replay.
[Chorus, Joseph me, These walls holding me back. can't tell me where we at. I'm uncontainable.
me, These walls holding me back. They tell me where we at. I in control.
Methric] 'em... I can 'em looking at me. I can even hear 'em when I'm trying to sleep. Sometimes start spinning they're just closing in And it's too much to beat, I can't win. Don't grin, it funny I just set it ablaze I had to the whole house to escape that maze I was burned from my to my feet but it was worth it Until I back, I didn't even hurt.
Bruce] One surrounds me, no roof no floor. I started fallin' as soon as I stepped the door. Plain walls, let me see a crack in the paint Or I'm in, and focused I ain't. Clang-bang, I bloody the walls and leave So the next man falling at can see thangs. I of my life relivin' every memory into the walls of my epitome.
[Chris but walls, but it's alright. My to the room in the corner all night. (Even in the darkness) Nothin' but walls, but alright. My back to the room in the corner all night. (These keep watchin' me.) but walls, but it's alright. My to the room in the corner all night. (Even in the darkness.) Nothin' but walls, but alright. My back to the room in the all night.
[James I always myself starin' into a dark daze, Same place, new age, punched with rage. If they could they probably wouldn't say much Because I always keep myself away and such. Just a sheltered being wasted away four walls on a casket being put in a grave. So many hours spent at nothing, But I on glaring, steady hoping for something.
Rouleau] I stare in maze through my cell gate. For eighty I been known as inmate 1-4-2-7-8. Walls can't confine me, on the noose weekend. the guards take me for my shock treatment, I be leavin', out the in my head To control the minds and the undead. The problem is, I'm out for two days And I return to my and these walls and bars around me.
me, These ain't holding me back. can't tell me where we at. I'm uncontainable.
[Repeat times] me, These ain't holding me back. can't tell me where we at. I in control.
[James me. me back. me back. In control.
me. me back. me back. In control.
[Repeat me, These walls holding me back. They can't me where we at. I in control.
