[Verse 1]
Morning feels like midnight
Curtains closed inside my head
Every little thought grows teeth
Gnawing at the side of the bed
Breath stuck in my ribcage
Hands shaking in my lap
Staring at the ceiling cracks
Waiting for my brain to snap
[Chorus]
When the walls collapse
Crashing down inside my mind
I dig my heels, I scream back
I won’t be buried this time
When the walls collapse
Stone and dust and broken glass
I drag my heart through the shards
I’m still here when the walls collapse (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Rage rides in like thunder
Anxiety just locks the door
Sadness is a tired ghost
Laying on the kitchen floor
Voices say I’m nothing
Say I’m better off erased
I answer with a crooked grin
“You’re talking to my face” (hey!)
[Chorus]
When the walls collapse
Crashing down inside my mind
I dig my heels, I scream back
I won’t be buried this time
When the walls collapse
Stone and dust and broken glass
I drag my heart through the shards
I’m still here when the walls collapse
[Bridge]
I count
One for every breath I steal
Two for every wound that sealed
Three for all the nights I stayed
When I swore I’d fade away
I’m cracked
But I’m not your easy kill
Broken, yeah, but breathing still (breathing still)
If all I’ve got’s a single spark
I’ll hold it like a blazing mark
[Chorus]
When the walls collapse
Crashing down inside my mind
I dig my heels, I scream back
I won’t be buried this time
When the walls collapse
Let it fall, I’ll crawl, I’ll laugh
Bruised and bleeding, but I rise
I’m reborn when the walls collapse (when the walls collapse)
