You see I lean on horizontal walls
And I see you wondering why.
You think I don't see your eyes
You think I don't see your fears.
Mine have taken over me
Isn't it an irony how a faith
That soars like a kite against the wind
Is mocked by a fear that feasts on me
Like cavity to clean white teeth

You see I lean on horizontal walls
And behind these eyes that glitter
Is what I have lost control of.
Even jesus has refused to visit.
Or that's what I think.

Whenever this wall is broken
When it chooses to stand upright
You'd be the one to teach me to walk
When I finally remove these gloves
It would be you I would learn to hold
When this black eye becomes beautiful
Won't it be you I will be seeing?

I see your heart tangled
Don't think mine is not
I left a note in your heart
One that only you can read
I left them with cryptic words
When tomorrow comes
And I have nothing to lean on but you,
Find this note.

It's the cause of this fallen wall.
