Lyrics
I built these walls with blinders on my eyes
Brick by brick and now I realize
That I'm shut out I'm shut in
And every time I try to reach out I reach in
I break my fingers on the bricks
Why do I do this to myself
There is really no one else to blame
So could you reach down and pull me out
Or am I just too far gone to be saved?
Or am I just too far gone to be saved?
I take my falls, hands pulled behind my back
You made the knot and didn't leave much slack
Now I'm tied up I'm tied down
Now every time I try to fly up I fly down
Into the sea and hold my breath
I am a mirrored rumble fish
Life is so clenching for the kill
So could you reach down and break my will
Or am I just too far gone to be saved?
Or am I just too far gone to be saved?
I'm shut out I'm shut in
And every time I try to reach out, to reach in
I break my fingers on the bricks
I'm tied up and tied down
And every time I try
To fly up, I fly down
Into the sea and hold my breath
I am a mirrored rumble fish
Life is so clenching for the kill
So could you reach out and pull me out
Or am I just too far gone
You'll never be too far gone
You'll never be too far gone to be saved
