[Intro]

Are you listening?

We write a thousand pages, they're torn and on the floor

Headlights hammer the windows, we're locked behind these doors

And we are never leaving, this place is part of us

And all these scenes repeating are cold to the touch

[Verse 1]

My hands seem to deceive me

When I'm nervous or when I'm healthy

The scenery's all drawn

They hang here from the walls dear

Painting pictures, bleeding colors

Blanket the windows

[Chorus]

Sometimes it gets so hard to breathe

Your eyes see right through me

[Post-Chorus]

These fights with your arms left beside

It's one thing, and one more says goodnight

You've got the map, come get to me

These knuckles break before they bleed

Tear out these veins that own my heart

This skin that wears your lasting marks

I've built these walls, come get to me

Come get to me

[Verse 2]

Is this your lesson, a slight discretion

The lines that keep you, the lines that sweep you

Lock the doors from the inside

Your face is so contagious

It wears announcements, it leaves me breathless

I won't forget this, I won't forget

[Chorus]

Sometimes it gets so hard to breathe

Your eyes see right through me

[Bridge]

Let the walls have their say

Let the walls have their say

Let the walls have their say

Let the walls have their say

Let the walls have their say

Have their say

[Breakdown]

There's no conversation, words without remorse

And this television drowns the only source

Wake from these dreams of you in my arms

To the staircase where you hold my heart

[Outro]

This place, these walls mean everything to me
