Back Against the Wall

I hide behind the walls that I built 
Made from failure and pride 
And sorrow 
And guilt 

Just leave your name and number 
On the back of my wall
And when I climb over
I’ll give ‘ya a call

See now’s not the time
I’m not in the right place 
I’m not in my right mind 
I can’t find the right face 

And the baggage I carry 
Won’t get off my back 
And the troubles I married 
Bring panic attacks 

See when you’re losing it all
You shut it all out 
You put up a wall
And then break it all down 

It hurts when you fall
Life can get too intense 
So I might tear down that wall 
And maybe put up a fence
