Through Ten Walls

Through ten walls you gently breathe
A rhythm only known to you and me
I would scratch these bricks away
So through the hollows you can hear me say:

“i have seen your misery
You’ve always had a hold over me
Eyes so wide to blind the fates
But your sleep has kept so awake”

Through ten walls you rest alone
Buried shallow under precious stone
It won’t be too long before
Guilty hands come knocking on your door

Now you rise, you have become
A symbol of all i cannot trust
I may make these mountains move
But you turn them to dust

It’s the life you chose and how
The years have frozen you my darling
How the consequences of your actions
Lead us to sever and betray
I know

It’s not like i’ll ever know
If you and i could roll away the stones
I can’t give up my beliefs in who we are
