Even on a sunny day when the transcendental rays
Cast their warming gaze upon your bed
Hearing only warning signs, losing all your faith in time
You let the darkness overtake your head
Up and down the street the children's shouts and strolling feet
Explore a whole world of emotion that you've pushed so low
So low it's growing smaller, the whole room's growing smaller
So small that now it's going to implode
And the walls, hey now, they're closing in
Hey now, the room's growing thin
Hey now, they're caving in, just wait
It's positive to recommend you spend a minute with a friend
Who didn't give on you long ago
But you choose to live in secrecy, not even in a fantasy
And let the silent simmer start to grow
Into a terrifying beast who'll surely make a merry feast
A colorful arrangement of your utmost fears
Until you're left an empty husk slowly turning into dust
They won't rush, it might take many years
And the walls, hey now, they're closing in
Hey now, the room's growing thin
Hey now, they're caving in, just wait
An application of a trick, enthusiasm just might fix
The holes ripping open in your heart
Find the old & trusty cure, the little thing you once found pure
That gave your younger stronger self a start
But you're too tired to go in search
You've found your place upon the earth
And there you'll stay and waste away and say that's all
I say there's got to be much more
Than spending what you have in store
Stone faced and staring at the wall
And the walls, hey now, they're closing in
Hey now, the room's growing thin
Hey now, they're caving in, just wait
And the walls, hey now, they're closing in
Hey now, you're growing thin
Hey now, they're caving in, just wait
