   THE WALLS--Dark Lotus
I sit up at night, it's at least 3 or 4 Blood drippin out my knuckles From knocking skin on drywall I see a face like flashlights on they chins The more I blink the more it happens again, damn Victims, from like '89 Floating their faces on the wall like it's the last time I'm gonna see them again The same time every night The wall gets bigger with every flash of day light Are they like closing in on me Walls confining me, inside of me There's an emptiness that won't go away I never said that I was right inside of my mind But I'm sure over time I'll learn to climb the walls I'm sure that over time I'll learn to right all of my wrongs Sure it's right, four walls reflecting my life Every night that I sit and watch the replay Surrounding me These walls ain't holding me back They can't tell me where we at I'm uncontainable Surrounding me These walls ain't holding me back They can't tell me where we at I remain in control Tell 'em I can feel them looking at me I can even hear them talking when I'm tryin to sleep Sometimes they start spinnin or just closing in And it's just too much to beat, I can't win Don't grin, it ain't funny I just set it ablaze I had to burn the whole house to escape that maze. I was burned from my neck to my feet But it was worth it until I went back I didn't even hurt it One wall surrounds me, no roof, no floor I started falling as soon as I stepped through the door Plain walls, don't let me see a crack in the paint Or I'm focusing in and focused I ain't Clang bang, I bloody the walls I leave stains So the next man falling at least can see things I think of my life, reliving every memory Starring into the walls of my epitome, falling Nothing but walls, but its all right My back to the room in the corner all night (Even in the darkness) Nothing but walls, but its all right My back to the room in the corner all night I always catch myself starring into a dark daze Same place, new age Hoes punch with rage If they could talk, they probably wouldn't say much Because I always keep myself locked away in such Such a sheltered life being wasted away Like four walls on a casket being put in a grave So many hours spent looking at nothing But I keep on glaring steadily hoping for something I stare into space through my cell gate For 80 years I've been known as inmate 14278 Walls can't confine me, on the noose every week And when the guards take me for my shock treatment I be leaving out the space in my head To control the minds and unearth the undead The problem is, I'm only out for two days And I return to my coma and these walls and bars around me. Surrounding me These walls ain't holding me back They can't tell me where we at I'm uncontainable Surrounding me These walls ain't holding me back They can't tell me where we at I remain in control Surrounding me These walls ain't holding me back They can't tell me where we at I remain in control Surrounding me These walls ain't holding me back They can't tell me where we at I remain in control Surrounding me Holding me back Holding me back In control Surrounding me These walls ain't holding me back They can't tell me where we at I'm uncontainable Surrounding me These walls ain't holding me back They can't tell me where we at I remain in control)
