broken

i feel so artificial

i need to break down the barrier

the wall is in my way

impassable

it can't be broken

it can't be broken

 

it's been there so long

since before we remember

can it be gone

no

it can't be broken

it can't be broken

 

i pace to and fro

banging on the wall

i want to bring it down

it won't oblige me

it can't be broken

it can't be broken

 

my feet begin to falter

they curl up beneath me

i'm defeated

i retreat back inside

it can't be broken

 

it can't be broken
