Once again, I've found myself up against a wall
I know because I've done it all before
Play pretend, I hear voices linger down the hall
I don't feel like doing this anymore
Can you hear the voice inside me?
I don't want to call you when the sun sets
I won't show you all my pieces
I refuse to give you my troubles
I neglect to let loose all my demons
Can you hear what my tongue claims?
Do you feel what I'm trying to say?
It calls you by name
Asking you to stay

Once again, I've found myself up against a wall
I know because I've done it all before
Play pretend, I hear voices linger down the hall
I don't feel like doing this anymore
Can you hear the voice inside me?
I don't want to call you when the sun sets
I won't show you all my pieces
I refuse to give you my troubles
I neglect to let loose all my demons
Can you hear what my tongue claims?
Do you feel what I'm trying to say?
It calls you by name
Asking you to stay
My wall is trusting people, letting them know the doubts going through my head. Again and again, I put up these walls and I don't let people know what I'm going through, whether it's because I think it inconvenience them, or I don't want them to know, or I think it would be a burden on them, or I honestly don't want to let go of these struggles. But these people who care about me can see straight through the lies I tell them, and they cut me to the heart, with either truth or care. And I'm so thankful for that! I know no matter how many times I refuse to trust them, they'll always love me, and no matter how many times I doubt God, He will always love me!
