Walls

Outside my window the moon shines bright I know I can't reach it Even with the help of time Locked in this room feels like prison to me They told me this is home Where I spend the rest of my being But I ran through my thoughts And this is not what I want My voice is much too weak Makes it too hard to speak It ain't walls that alight my fears It is the darkness that comes After staring out a window year after year It ain't walls that lock me in It is the people who see no meaning In an old man's tears Here she comes to change my underwear As a young man I would have danced with her For them I stopped to be a man I am just a number Rotten flesh polluting the air But I won't give up Something is still too tough I will holler and fight Till I never get out of their mind It ain't walls that alight my fears It is the darkness that comes After staring out a window year after year It ain't walls that lock me in It is the people who see no meaning In an old man's tears
