Berlin (Eventually every wall falls)

by Jez   Apr 18, 2007


For to long have I been building this wall around me
First wire then chain
Now concrete surrounds me
I told myself it was for the best
But instead of protecting me
Its just keeping the world out
These four walls my supposed self defense
But for how long can I keep the religion of myself devout
How long can I live in the shadows of self doubt
The wall now a predator that feeds
I have grown to much the walls constrain me
But thats not enough
I have to break free
I fight, but every denial are bricks in the wall
To fight oneself is but the hardest battle, it will take an army of thoughts to make it fall
The wall which engulf my body symbolizes the bitter me
For as long as these walls are there, this is as human as I can be
My battle still goes on
Hopefully in time ill win get to breathe the outer air
(For Irgendwann fallt jede Mauer)
Eventually every wall falls
