Look Past The Walls

Sometimes life can feel more like death
Slowly sucking away every dying breath,
Heartless whispers sting your ears-
Squeezing your eyes tight
Against the burning tears.

Look,
Look past the walls he's built up around your life
It keeps him happy
But it makes you cry.

Look,
Look past the walls he's built up around you so high
To deny you the freedom
From out or inside.

A tightness wells within your chest
The anger and fights,
He knows he's failed the test.

All of the years that you've lost
The things that might have been...
You gave him your best
But your best just wasn't good enough for him.

-------------------------------

Sadness washes over you like a warm wave
You search for a place to make it all go away
You've got the strength to escape
Hold onto your spirit
Don't let it break...
