I keep on hitting these walls
I keep on hitting these walls
I keep on hitting these walls
And I don't know what they want
They are trying to take me down
They are trying to keep me from
They are trying to keep me

You keep on building these walls
Through your choice of words
Speak in terms of war
And I keep running into these walls
But I am falling apart
And they are not
Near the point of no return
Freedoms hollowed out
By scaremongering
For the illusion of security
But you are always there
Always watching me
Until I am the one looking over my shoulder
Unsure if
You are with or against me
How much longer will I be free?
How much longer until me
Being free
Makes me the new enemy?

Your walls are closing in on me
I am adopting your fear
Adapting to your strategy
It has been haunting me for weeks
Until I am overcome with anxiety
And in need to flee
I cannot stand by
Doing nothing
Losing myself in this hopelessness
Losing my ability to breathe

Do we still understand what it means to be free
Or are we just
Another cog in this machine?
We were taught to believe
That the cage we live in
State we are in
Is for our safety
And a necessity
To be free
To protect us from
Threats from the outside
A constant state of war
But this is where I draw the line

Read the writings on the wall
Before I take him down
Before I take you down
And it is going down
I keep on hitting these walls
For the generations to come
Keep on hitting these walls
Until the last one falls
