i'd trade these four walls
and these curtains without thinking
inside air can't compare
to this town in the summertime
it's hard to focus there's this constant sound
like t.v. only worse
it's low and dull but always there
my fear of failure keeps me standing still
(until now)
i'll pull this off someday
they took the best part of our neighborhood
and made it like the rest
lifeless, flat, and so ugly
we can't see anything in whole
some can't see anything at all
we can't see past the walls
we put up right before ourselves
