The Yellow Wallpaper by The Lost Boys Collective Lyrics
I can’t think, I can’t breathe. All that I see are the walls around me
I can’t eat, I can’t sleep. It’s not a life if I’m not living
I hear the whispers screaming until my ears start bleeding. The voice outside my head repeating, “It’s not real; I’m dreaming.”
I feel these walls constricting and everyone stops listening
My black veins start bleeding and memories start receding
Tick-tok, tick-tok, my heart’s still beating too the clock. The hour hand is around my throat, so I’ll break it’s hands or choke
Who am I? What am I? I’m locked outside of my mind
Another day gone by and nothing seems to change, I lie awake at night with open eyes
And I see myself in the walls of the house that I never left
I’ve watched my dreams slip through my fingertips because I never took the hand that tried to help
I have to kills these walls before they kill me
I call out every night, but no one hears me
I locked the doors and threw away the key, now I’m alone with the walls and they’re alone with me
Say whatever you want, I can’t hear you
Say whatever you want, I won’t hear you
Another night arrives and nothing seems to change
I lie awake at night with open eyes
And I see myself in the walls of the house I never left
I’ve watched my dreams slip through my my fingertips because I never took your hand
I’m becoming the ghost of the man that I always tried to be
And I watched my life pass through the looking glass because I always tried to do this on my own
I still feel blood in my veins. I still feel air in my lungs. While every breath is still a fight, I know I’m not alone
I still have thoughts in my head. I still have life under my skin. Until my bones turn into dust, these walls will never win
Take my hand
I can’t think, I can’t breathe. All that I see are the walls around me
I can’t eat, I can’t sleep. It’s not a life if I’m not living
I can’t eat, I can’t sleep. It’s not a life if I’m not living
I hear the whispers screaming until my ears start bleeding. The voice outside my head repeating, “It’s not real; I’m dreaming.”
I feel these walls constricting and everyone stops listening
My black veins start bleeding and memories start receding
Tick-tok, tick-tok, my heart’s still beating too the clock. The hour hand is around my throat, so I’ll break it’s hands or choke
Who am I? What am I? I’m locked outside of my mind
Another day gone by and nothing seems to change, I lie awake at night with open eyes
And I see myself in the walls of the house that I never left
I’ve watched my dreams slip through my fingertips because I never took the hand that tried to help
I have to kills these walls before they kill me
I call out every night, but no one hears me
I locked the doors and threw away the key, now I’m alone with the walls and they’re alone with me
Say whatever you want, I can’t hear you
Say whatever you want, I won’t hear you
Another night arrives and nothing seems to change
I lie awake at night with open eyes
And I see myself in the walls of the house I never left
I’ve watched my dreams slip through my my fingertips because I never took your hand
I’m becoming the ghost of the man that I always tried to be
And I watched my life pass through the looking glass because I always tried to do this on my own
I still feel blood in my veins. I still feel air in my lungs. While every breath is still a fight, I know I’m not alone
I still have thoughts in my head. I still have life under my skin. Until my bones turn into dust, these walls will never win
Take my hand
I can’t think, I can’t breathe. All that I see are the walls around me
I can’t eat, I can’t sleep. It’s not a life if I’m not living
