Walled In

You know you drive me crazy
I'm more dead than alive
The others here before me fall
I'm the only to survive

You're not caring of anyone, looking out for your own back
My back's to the wall, I'm all out of breath
You've turned me into the walking dead

Your voice never ends, it follows me around
I'm being walled in
I will never, ever be found

You've shown selfish love
And you keep hanging on
I've heard it a million times
You command when you're alone
Voices carry thoughtlessly
And rumors concern all
You stay on my back and I'm back to the wall

Someone told me before,
I'll be the one to leave.
I can't stay here anymore,
Can't die within my grief
I know you want to stay,
But, I have no loyalty at all
I'll keep my chin up
When my back's to the wall.

You place the bricks of pain
While I am out of breath,
You command constantly,
You give me the walking death,
You've ran me ragged,
I'm sick while you're alone,
Can’t tell anyone I hate my home.
You did this to me, you laid the foundations down,
Too blind to see, I may never, ever be found.
