"if there are no walls, then there can be no home"
i don't know if i believe it, but it's what i'm told
and i'm not afraid of not being alone
i was made with some sinking in skin and some breakable bones
and i need your water sometimes for my undergrowth
do you feel safe knowing i got nowhere else i want to go
are you shutting it out
everybody talks like they already know
in these deep and dying months where everything shows
are you so afraid of not being alone
are you shutting it and shaking it out all on your own
building a no-way-in, no-way-out kind of home
kicking up the ground where the roots had long been grown
are you shutting it out
so i'll skin my pride alive
just to keep this thing from dying
and you say i'm such a martyr
well at least i found something to die for
'cause we don't have the time
not knowing what's on the other side
you know i'd tear this world apart
if you could tell me that's what you really want
