Lyrics: Dream Theater. Octavarium. These Walls.

This is so hard for me
To find the words to say
My thoughts are standing still

Captive inside of me
All emotions start to hide
And nothing's getting through

Watch me fading
I'm losing all my instincts
Falling into darkness

Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows I'm holding back

It's not too late for me to keep from sinking further
I'm trying to find my way out
Tear down these walls for me now

So much uncertainty
I don't like this feeling
I'm sinking like a stone

Each time I try to speak
There's a voice I'm hearing
And it changes everything

Watch me crawl
From the wreckage of my silence
Conversation failing

Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows I'm holding back

It's not too late for me to keep from sinking further
I'm trying to find my way out
Tear down these walls

Every time you choose to turn away
Is it worth the price you pay?
Is there someone who will wait for you
One more time, one more time?

Watch me fading
I'm losing all my instincts
Falling into darkness

Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows I'm holding back

It's not too late for me to keep from sinking further
I'm trying to find my way out
Tear down these walls for me now

Tear down these walls for me
It's not too late for me
Tear down these walls for me
