Knife Sharp Walls

The light at the top

Of the stairs

Makes me hesitate

A tiptoe across the floor

Venture a few steps

The doubts get in the way

These knife-sharp walls

Won't let me be

Won't let me lie

Desires are gone

Almost before they're here

Crying over sand

My soul becomes a noise

And turns into my voice

Carrying the weight of my cold heart

On my shoulders

I tiptoe across the floor

Venture a few steps

The doubts get in the way

These Knife sharp walls

Won't let me be

Won't let me lie

Desires are gone almost before they're here

Crying over sand

Is the address so hard to find?

Did they miss the welcome sign?

I left the keys under the rug

Which no one seems to find

No thief peeks through its cracks

No wind slips through its sides

The rain to rust its hinges tonight

Tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight

Tonight

The light at the top
