about
This song relates those things in life that keep you from going anywhere. With the walls we build, we also have the hands to take them down.
lyrics
Time after time, these walls have stared me down.
Older and older we've grown.
Without a sound, the barriers gain.
Tonight, my tongue sleeps, while the walls speak in silence.
A silence spoken only through the hands of time;
The hands of time and my own.
Another moon brings to pass the ones before.
The walls read me as I them.
They say they are not to blame;
For I, not them, have brought me here.
True, as I have watched them grow taller till there was no escape.
Brick by brick, laid by my own hands.
Built on Greed, Lust, Rage, Hate, Lies, and envy; They sustain.
An absorption of sin brings height.
As the very same hands built;
On Truth, Giving, Love, Peace, and Happiness;
They can disassemble.
The day freedom breaks me free.
