The walls keep inching closer / towards my lonely self / because in a room that’s always shrinking / there isn’t room for anyone else / shaking in my fingertips / begins crawling towards my chest / and it still won’t be enough / if I try my very best / there’s nothing I can do / to keep from being crushed / under the weight of the walls / that i’ve built from a broken trust / on the floor with my face in my knees screaming please / can you save me from myself / cause isn’t claustrophobia / supposed to come from something else / all the lies that I tell to myself / they don’t help when the walls start closing in / and all this claustrophobia / won’t stop until it destroys me / I don’t need a room to make me claustrophobic / just time alone here with my thoughts / I’ll find myself trapped within / the things I once forgot / everything cast out of my mind / tries to force its way back in / when I’m fighting the things that have beat me before / there’s no way I can win / walls I built to protect myself / come crumbling down on me / and I’m stoned on the ground / by these thoughts they won’t stop / ’til I’m trapped underneath / on the floor with my face in my knees / screaming please can you save me from myself / cause isn’t claustrophobia supposed to come from something else / all the lies that I tell to myself / they don’t help when the walls start closing in / and all this claustrophobia won’t stop until it destroys me / on the floor with my face in my knees / screaming please / cause isn’t claustrophobia supposed to come from something else / all the lies that I tell to myself they don’t help / and all this claustrophobia / won’t stop until it destroys me
