White Walls

Sitting up upon the white walls
The clouds surround my head
The air feels heavy, pressing down
The heart I should have read
Airplanes cross the grey world
That still tries to hold me down
I should have broken out
Several ages before now

The birds they sit beside me
And they whisper how to fly
But I'm just too afraid
To give that whole damn thing a try
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid

Houses built to fence me
Calm the slumbering love down
Since now I see that empty space
Just take a look around
So I'm breaking down the covenant
That forces me to stay
Back behind the desert
That has led my heart astray

The birds they sit beside me
And they whisper "why so shy?"
But I'm just too afraid
To give that whole damn thing a try

Oh no no no
I'm too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid

But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
