The higher the walls
The harder the crash
The tighter the mask
The deeper the mess
And yet there is a glimmer
A bright young hint of light
And I hope that all that is forgiven
Will draw no tears at night
The weakest build the tallest
And highest walls of all
But when glass buildings come crashing
Who will catch them might they fall?
The higher the walls
The harder the crash
The tighter the mask
The deeper the mess
They try to trust and pay for it
The dearest price of all
When times come they hurt again
No cushion breaks their fall
Many times they broke things
Souls, hearts, minds
No one can tell them different
Sympathy tells lies
The higher the walls
The harder the crash
The tighter the mask
The deeper the mess
Every time gets harder
Draggin ball and chain
Harder to get out of the cage
And peep over the wall again
The outside is oblivious
To the withered and dying plants
In the garden behind their faces
They so eagerly tend
The higher the walls
The harder the crash
The tighter the mask
The deeper the mess
The higher the wall
The slower the fall
When you need help
I’ll catch you
That’s all.
