Behind These Walls

I wake up in a room with no name,

Another day feels just the same,

White walls close in, but I can’t breathe,

Trapped inside, can’t break free.

They tell me that I’ll be alright,

But in the dark, I lose my sight,

I’m caught between the noise and calm,

Holding on to a fragile song.

And every step I take feels wrong,

In a world that doesn’t belong,

I hear the voices in my head,

Telling me I’m better off dead.

But I’m still here, I’m still alive,

I won’t give up, I won’t hide,

I’ll find a way to break these chains,

Even when the storm remains.

Behind these walls, I’ll make my stand,

I’ll find my way, I’ll take my hand.

In this place, I’ll learn to fight,

I’ll make it through another night.

The faces blur, I’m just a name,

A number in the system’s game,

I try to speak, but words fall short,

In this place, I lose my voice.

The world outside seems far away,

Like a memory that fades to grey,

But I hold on to a shred of hope,

I’m still alive, I’ll learn to cope.

And every step I take feels wrong,

But I’m still here, I still belong,

I’ll find the strength to rise again,

Even if the walls won’t end.

But I’m still here, I’m still alive,

I won’t give up, I won’t hide,

I’ll find a way to break these chains,

Even when the storm remains.

Behind these walls, I’ll make my stand,

I’ll find my way, I’ll take my hand.

In this place, I’ll learn to fight,

I’ll make it through another night.

I’m not broken, I’m not lost,

I’ll find my way, no matter the cost,

In the silence, I’ll learn to scream,

I’ll break free from this endless dream.

But I’m still here, I’m still alive,

I won’t give up, I won’t hide,

I’ll find a way to break these chains,

Even when the storm remains.

Behind these walls, I’ll make my stand,

I’ll find my way, I’ll take my hand.

In this place, I’ll learn to fight,

I’ll make it through another night.

I’ll make it through another night,

Behind these walls, I’ll find my light.
