The walls inside my head Have cracked like the walls behind my bed I don’t know how or when But sometime between now and then There was a slit And then the plaster split And through the cracks spilled New thoughts as the world stilled And I began to realize There are so many lies Within this society And still it’s worshiped with aggressive piety The cracks become chasms As the thoughts rearrange the atoms Of this life Full of pain and strife But once the flood subsides Every thought hides And I look at my wall And see nothing at

The Walls Have Cracked
The walls inside my head Have cracked like the walls behind my bed I don’t know how or when But sometime between now and then There was a slit And then the plaster split And through the cracks spilled New thoughts as the world stilled And I began to realize There are so many lies Within this society And still it’s worshiped with aggressive piety The cracks become chasms As the thoughts rearrange the atoms Of this life Full of pain and strife But once the flood subsides Every thought hides And I look at my wall And see nothing at
