Hey, should I just move away or stop trying
When the walls start crying
When no one picks you up and living feels like dying
And the stars you used to see have stopped shining
When the walls start crying
Ok, ok, ok, don’t want to escape, I just want a chance
To change my mind in a new time zone
My mind’s not well. And my time, well, it’s spent
skating in circles on the lake out in the wintertime
Never thought anything could get to me, but suddenly it all just seems so
serious.
And hey, should I just move away or stop trying
When the walls start crying
When no one picks you up and living feels like dying
When the walls start crying
Guess this is what I get for living underground
In a wayward sway, in a flood I was found
Water drops wont seem to stop and I’m swimming in my past
Watch the mold slowly growing on my old photographs
Never thought anything could get to me, but suddenly it all just seems so
serious
And hey, should I just move away or start trying
When the walls start crying
When no one picks you up and living feels like dying
And the stars you used to see have stopped shining
When the walls start crying
Well, getting back from my getaway, where I saw a world changed by a wave
And I realized a few things. Why no one was there to pick up me
In an Echo Park Tsunami, in some strange baptismal way
All of this water means something
The angles are yelling at me
Telling me it’s time for a change
