As the walls are closing in And the colors fade to black And my eyes are falling fast and deep into me And I follow the tracks that lead me down And I never follow what's right And they wonder sometimes when they see all the Sadness and pain the truth brings to light
[Chorus] 'Cause I can't see no reason What is blind cannot see 'Cause I want what is pleasin' All I take should be free What I rob from the innocent ones What I'd steal from the womb
If I cried me a river of all my confessions Would I drown in my shallow regret As the walls are closing in And the colors fade to black And the night is falling fast and deep into the sea And in darkness all that I can see The frightened and the weak Are forced to cling to mistakes they know nothing of At mercy are the meek
