Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You are walking
You've always been walking
Stumbling half blinded
And dry as the wind
[Verse 2]
That strafes you and leaves you
To lie in the sand
And the wall stretches endless
Beside you to nowhere
[Verse 3]
This wall that you've been
Trying to cross for years
This fence made of fear
No one hears
[Verse 4]
You see a door
Ah such a great
Open door
You know that your eyes
Telling lies, still you chance
[Verse 5]
A shambling run
A ridiculous dance
Like a scarecrow that's hung up
To dry on a fence pole
[Verse 6]
And there's a space like
Vacuum waiting inside you
For you to get through
To the blue
[Verse 7]
You sent the water
Fresh clean grass
Food and water
Your breath is scraping
Your brain into dust
[Verse 8]
Your rusty old engine
Is ready to bust
You cannot believe it
That they would not trust you
[Verse 9]
The door is wavering
Is that your eyes?
Are they still telling lies?
What are lies?
