Walls
Beck feat. Cat Power Lyrics

Some days
There are certain days

I get a thrill
I experience a jolt of excitement

In my brains
Within my mind

Some days I'm trying to turn to my veins
Sometimes, I attempt to find solace in drugs

See a face
Gaze upon an image

Into the mirror
Reflection in the mirror

Reflecting
Showing a reflection of

On the surface of fear
On the outside appearance of anxiety

Because you know
Since you are aware

I'm never better
I am always struggling

Than that
Than my current condition

Some days are worse
Occasionally, days are more challenging

Than you can imagine
Beyond what one can comprehend

How am I supposed
What am I expected

To live with that?
To cope with such a situation?

On this train wreck is coming a random
An unpredictable disaster is approaching

Hey
Listen

What are you gonna do
How do you plan to cope

When those walls
When that security falls apart

Are falling down
Are collapsing

Falling down on you?
Falling down directly onto you?

You got warheads
You possess explosives

Stacked in the kitchen
Stored in the kitchen

You treat distraction
You regard being disengaged

Like an instant religion
Like an instantaneous belief system

The battlesticks snap
The weapons are being prepared

At the rhythm
In time to the beat

You give your best
You offer everything you have

With the souls
With the spirits

You've been given
That have been bestowed upon you

Cause you know
Because you understand

You're nothing
You hold no significance

Special to them
Especially not to them

Going someplace
Heading to a destination

You've already been
That you've already visited

Trying to make sense
Attempting to comprehend

Of what
What kinds of things

They call wisdom
As they refer to it as intelligence

And this riff-raff
And those who are undesirable

Life ain't with them
They do not have a fulfilling existence

You're wearing all
You exhibit all

Of the years on your face
The way age has affected your face

Turn a tombstone
Becoming like a gravestone

You roll into place
You assume your designated position or role

And your heart
Although your heart

Only beats in a murmur
Is weak and barely audible

But your words ring out just
Nonetheless, your words resonate

Like murder
As if there is a murderous intent behind them
