lyrics

The Walls – Emily Triggs

You call me an angel now
but you treat me like a ghost
We could live in this town
if you could stomach all the noise
You’re living just for show
as you’re grinding down the rough
When the wheels are turning slow
and it’s just too tough

You know that we could make this right
if you just came home tonight
We got a lot to do since the walls came down

The war is coming on
as we save the universe
The crows will take the crops
we just have to get there first
When things aren’t making any sense
your faults will show the road
You think the spotlight shines on me
You take the lead role

You know that we could make this right
if you just came home tonight
We got a lot to do since the walls came down

You say the world’s gone bad
It’s the past that makes you wrong
Ah it’s all so wrong, and it’s all coming down

You know that we could make this right
if you just came home tonight
We got a lot to do since the walls came down
came down, came down, came down
