Will these walls protect from acts of God?
Do windows break without a human cause?
When all the elements exploit the cracks and flaws
The inside melts into the out
So back away from every open door
I don't want to be ashamed no more
And let all your little words awaken and distort
The chipping vandals I can do without
So enjoy
And do the scary things you would avoid
Forget your damaged ears and all their noise
You might not be so limber later on
And reach out
And worry just for things worth worrying about
Sometimes it's okay to feel a little proud
Just promise me you'll sleep before the dawn
So will these walls protect from Acts of God?
And who does what our dying Earth cannot?
I turned the lights off when I left cause you forgot
But I think I left the door unlocked
