+ Show full styles

Verse 1 I don’t hear them with my ears, Still I feel them drawing near, In the silence, in between… Something speaking under me. Not a sound I can explain, More like thoughts that ain’t my own, Every step I take inside… Echoes something left behind. Pre-Chorus Not alone… I know it now… Something breathing through these walls, Not just one… there’s so many… And they all remember me. Chorus In the walls… I hear them call Soft like they don’t hurt at all In the walls… they say my name Like we’re all the same No more fear, no need to run… They were here before I come, If I listen, I can feel… This is more than something real. Verse 2 Every whisper sound like me, Same soft voice, same heartbeat, Like they all were just like I was… Before I gave it up. Kind hearts never make it out, Soft souls never turn around, Every one of them was led… By the same sweet thread. Pre-Chorus I can feel them in my chest, Like they moving where I rest, Not separate… not apart… They inside me, in my heart. Chorus In the walls… I hear them breathe Like they never really leave In the walls… they pull me in Like I’ve always been No more lines between us now, No more “when” or “why” or “how,” If I listen, I can tell… I’m becoming one as well. Bridge We were chosen, one by one… Not for what we’d become… But for what we used to be… Soft… and easy to believe. She don’t take, she don’t chase… She just waits in the same place, And we walk in, just like I did… Thinking we could leave again. Final Chorus In the walls… I lose my name I don’t need it all the same In the walls… I feel them stay They don’t fade away No more self for me to hold… Just a voice inside the whole, If I’m part of what remains… I don’t need my name. Outro We’re still here… we don’t leave…
