[Joseph I sit up at night, it's at least or four. Blood drippin' down my from knockin' skin on drywall. I see a face like flashlights chins, The more I blink the it happens again. Damn, victims from '89, Floatin' their faces on the wall it's the last time. I'ma see 'em again the same everynight. The wall gets bigger every passin' daylight.
[James Are closin' in on me? Walls me of me There's an emptiness won't go away.
Yeah, I never said I was right inside my mind, But I'm over time I learned to climb the I'm that over time I learned to right all of my wrongs. Sure right, walls reflectin' my life Every I sit and watch the replay.
[Chorus, Bruce] me, These walls ain't me back. can't tell me where we at. I'm uncontainable.
me, These walls ain't me back. They tell me where we at. I in control.
[Paul 'em... I can feel 'em at me. I can hear 'em talkin' when I'm trying to sleep. Sometimes they start spinning they're just in And it's too much to beat, I can't win. Don't grin, it ain't I just set it ablaze I had to burn the whole house to escape that I was burned from my neck to my feet but it was it Until I back, I didn't even hurt.
Bruce] One surrounds me, no roof no floor. I started fallin' as soon as I through the door. Plain walls, don't let me see a in the paint Or I'm in, and focused I ain't. Clang-bang, I bloody the walls and stains So the next man at least can see thangs. I think of my life relivin' memory Staring the walls of my epitome.
Rouleau] Nothin' but walls, but alright. My back to the in the corner all night. (Even in the darkness) Nothin' but walls, but alright. My back to the room in the all night. (These walls keep watchin' me.) Nothin' but walls, but alright. My back to the in the corner all night. (Even in the darkness.) but walls, but it's alright. My to the room in the corner all night.
Lowrey] I always catch myself starin' into a daze, Same place, new age, holes with rage. If they talk they probably wouldn't say much Because I always keep myself locked and such. Just a sheltered life being wasted Like four on a casket being put in a grave. So hours spent looking at nothing, But I keep on glaring, steady for something.
Rouleau] I stare in maze through my cell gate. For eighty years I known as inmate 1-4-2-7-8. Walls can't me, on the noose every weekend. When the guards take me for my treatment, I be leavin', out the in my head To control the and unearth the undead. The problem is, I'm out for two days And I return to my coma and these walls and bars me.
me, These walls ain't me back. They can't tell me we at. I'm uncontainable.
[Repeat three me, These walls ain't me back. They can't 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 ain't holding me back. They can't me where we at. I in control.
