When I woke up, I couldn't feel my arms

They felt as if they weren't my own


I don't remember if I really slept at all

I might have been out building walls


How can I stand and hold up this great wall?

And if it falls then I might blow away

What's wrong? Can't he see how hard I've tried?

I'm numb inside

I'm done tonight


This morning found me out of action and alone

I'd lost command of all I thought I owned

My friends all called me to make sure I was well

But I never made it to the phone


How can I stand and hold up this great wall?

And if it falls then I might blow away

What's wrong? Can't he see how hard I've tried?

I'm numb inside

I'm done tonight


All this potential has messed up my whole day

A storm of times and overlapping things

This information has left me overwhelmed

I've no idea where I should go


How can I stand and hold up these great walls

And if it falls and I might blow away

What's wrong? Can't he see how hard I've tried?

I'm numb inside

I'm done tonight
