Wall’s seem to be tightening
They must have thought I wouldn’t notice it
But my eyes they are always open
Wide and bloodshot never closin’
Oh no
Don’t let ‘em close in
Oh no
I can feel them closing in
Used to sleep all through the night
But now when I lay down I can’t seem to breathe right
What have they done to my air
Trapped in this closet succumbing to despair
Oh no
Don’t let ‘em close in
Oh no
I can feel them closing in
Hear the shadows whispering
Pretend real hard that I don’t understand it
But I know I know
Nothing more hostile than a home
But I know I know I know
Nothing more hostile than a home
My bones feel brittle they break little by little
And every system’s bound to fail
The window’s getting smaller them bright light’s getting darker
Nothing out there seems this frail
Oh no
Don’t let ‘em close in
Oh no
I can feel them closing in
Oh no
Don’t let ‘em close in
And there’s nothing I can do to stop it
