I Made a Wall


I made a wall
Out of these stones
Out of your fall
Out of your bones

When you left home
I made a wall
Out of your door
I sealed it off

Sometimes I wanna get back there
But I know I'm safer on my own
Don't let me get back there

Nothing lasts forever
I'm finding out each day
Don't let me get back there

Hold close; act like you don't even know
Though I said so, you still don't

I dare to move
Into your room
Right through the wall
Into your tomb

When you wrecked home
I made a song
Out of your bones
It's in these notes

It's in these bones

Sometimes I wanna get back there
But I know I'm safer on my own
Don't let me get back there

Nothing lasts forever
I'm finding out each day
Don't let me get back there

Hold close; act like you don't even know
Though I said so, you still don't
Don't go; leave us all alone
You can leave home, if you think you're grown

These walls become my fruit
I eat though I know I'm not supposed to
Though I know I'm not supposed to

Hold close; act like you don't even know
Though I said so, you still don't
Don't go; leave us all alone
You can leave home, if you think you're grown
