This is my recognition
My public overthrow
Inside I'm bound to break
But on the outside, I can't show
This is my reputation
My castle built of sand
Everyone thinks they know me
But they don't understand
I'm double-sided and I can't hide it
These walls are closing in on my mind
And though I fight it, I can't rewrite it
These haunted walls won't leave me behind
This is my declaration
My silent, secret war
A battle fought in shadows
Behind my bedroom door
You see a painted picture
But cracks begin to show
The face I wear is breaking
But you don't have to know
I'm double-sided and I can't hide it
These walls are closing in on my mind
And though I fight it, I can't rewrite it
These haunted walls won't leave me behind
When it gets that time of night
When nothing feels alright, I'm swallowed by emptiness
I try to hold control but I know I'll lose my soul
Why can't I just let it go?
I'm double-sided and I can't hide it
These walls are closing in on my mind
And though I fight it, I can't rewrite it
These haunted walls won't leave me behind
