This crystalline shield This invincible force field A prison of my own making This armour that keeps Dreams of inner peace Under my skin Where I'm Free to resolve the state I'm in Disengage and rearrange This diametric self within It's just the way it's always been If I say nothing at all What is left to lose If I build nothing but walls It's better than disappointing you The cage that keeps the horror in me It's better than disappointing you Self-contained in a silent rage What else am I supposed to do I can't relay everything I wish to say It's only my point of view So I walk away Still waters run deep There's nothing I won't take A passive resistance As calm as the coming of a storm Quiet as I can keep A slow-motion earthquake A paralyzing heaviness Before I lose control If I say nothing at all What is left to lose If I hide behind these walls I'll never disappoint you If I say nothing at all I have no excuse And I'll always take the fall If it means I still have you
