Within These Walls Lyrics

Nettlethrone Within These Walls

Every time I gaze at these walls
Memories perpetuate my suffering
Misguided by a blind devotion
Scorned by the failure of ages

Oh, sweet touch of insanity
Echoes in my reclusive mind
I salt my wounds with the truth
As I cut myself to bleed again

What chained me to this moment of confusion?
Feasting on my conscious with bitter paranoia
What holds me back from bringing down these walls?
My feeble mind failing me in the end

Every time I clench my fists
I see that the walls are closing in
Petrified and disheartened
My soul is broken with fear

Oh, sweet touch of insanity
Echoes in my reclusive mind
I salt my wounds with the truth
As I cut myself to bleed again

Now I'm lost, I'm naked, I'm depraved, I'm blind
Within these walls, the truth is lost
