When I was dead asleep
Behind
Towering walls
They built a world outside
And I
Missed the wake-up call
My stony breath crawled
To a blowing hammer's beat
There was a sea of sound
But it was silence
That stole my sleep
When I was dead asleep
Behind
Towering walls
They built a world outside
And I
Missed the wake-up call
When I drag cripple legs
Through long winding streets
Fill me with suffering
And the people
Would see right through me
Behind
Towering walls
And I
Missed the wake-up call
To a blowing hammer's beat
There was a sea of sound
But it was silence
That stole my sleep
Behind
Towering walls
And I
Missed the wake-up call
Through long winding streets
Fill me with suffering
And the people
Would see right through me
