Walls

Some days we get a thrill in our brains
 Some days it turns into malaise
 You see our face in the veneer
 Reflected on the surface of fear
 Because you know that we're better than that
 But some days we're worse than you can imagine
 And how am I supposed to live with that?
 With all these train wrecks coming at random
 Hey - what are you gonna do?
 When those walls are falling down - falling down on you
 Hey - what are you gonna do?
 When those walls are falling down - falling down on you
 You got warheads stacked in the kitchen
 You treat distraction like it's a religion
 With a rattlesnake step in your rhythm
 We do the best with the souls we've been given
 Because you know we're nothing special to them
 We're going some place they've already been
 Trying to make sense of what they call wisdom
 And this riff-raff ain't laughing with them
 Hey - what are you gonna do?
 When those walls are falling down - falling down on you
 Hey - what are you gonna do?
 When those walls are falling down - falling down on you
 You're wearing all the years on your face
 Turn a tombstone into your own place
 And your heart only beats in a murmur
 But your words ring out just like murder
