about

A song about fear, boredom and depression with a lot of drama thrown in for good measure. The lyrics are like a riddle or an inside joke so don't worry if you don't get it.

V1:
In the past I’ve been so hurt
Been conditioned to run away first
And I’m so scared to lose
This heart can’t take another bruise
It’s no use my friend
It always turns out the same in the end
What you don’t know CAN harm you
Ignorance is Bliss-torin'

V2:
My box of lucky charms was missing a purple horseshoe
I thought it had less to do with me and maybe more to do with you
I saw your pony keg wearing it downtown
I thought how fitting and then I took a good look around
In this ¾ of a dead horse town
Thick with barflies, oh how astounding

V3:
You sound so rich with the words you speak
They must be worth a lot of money, I mean at their peak
And I’m so glad that you have shared them with me
Silly, silly me, I thought nothing was for free

V4:
You look for inspiration in that same drunken jukebox
While your dandy lioness prances around with her ruby locks
Dancing in and out of your existence
The ghost with the most resistance

Chorus:
And the walls are crashing in. There they go again and again
Like the whole ocean. And the sun comes setting in
And the walls are crashing in. There they go again and again
Like the whole ocean. And the sun comes setting in

V5:
I’ll sit, I’ll sit…
I’ll sit cuz' I can’t stand those games you’re playing
It’s like final jeopardy, know what I’m saying?
Now the time has come to lock my doors and swallow the key
And I hate eating keys when I’m not even hungry

Chorus (x2):
And the walls are crashing in. There they go again and again
(And the sun comes setting in) Like the whole ocean. And the sun comes setting in
And the walls are crashing. Here they come again and again
Like the whole ocean. And the sun comes setting in and the...(whole ocean)

Instrumental

Walls are crashing. Here they come again and again
Like the whole ocean. And the sun comes setting in
Walls are crashing. Here they come again and again (again and again)
Like the whole ocean. And the sun comes setting in.
