lyrics

INTO THE WALL

You can run for miles in all directions
You can jump so high before you fall
You can dig in deep to seek protection
But in the end there will always be a wall
On other sides the grass is always greener
That's the sickening truth of it all
Freedom and space will blind your sight with eager
And in the end there will always be that wall
in the end there will always be that wall
'Till here
and not one step further
'Till here
You will never cross that line
'Till here
You won't live to see the wonder
'Till here
It's all the same just inside out
Face it! we're all trapped in our own boundaries
Seems we'll never manage to get out
Those who try mostly drown in bad luck stories
And just a few emerge above the crowds
just a few emerge above the crowds
You can run for miles in all directions
You can jump so high before you fall
You can dig in deep to seek protection
But in the end you will crash into the wall
in the end you will crash into the wall
in the end you will crash into the wall
