The Walls are Closing In Tonight

Carla & Paul aka Butterfly Division

The walls are closing in again tonight
Shadows dance beneath the pale moonlight
A hollow ache that echoes through my chest
Loneliness
You’re an unwelcome guest

Loneliness is a killing thing
It cuts so deep it starts to sting
A silent scream no one can hear
It feeds on pain and grows on fear

I try to fight but it knows my name
A twisted player in a cruel game
The silence whispers secrets I despise
Loneliness wears a clever disguise

The mirror shows a stranger’s face
Lost in time and out of place
The clock ticks loud but never moves
A ghostly rhythm that disapproves

Loneliness is a killing thing
It cuts so deep it starts to sting
A silent scream no one can hear
It feeds on pain and grows on fear

But I won’t let it claim my soul
I’ll fill the void and make it whole
A spark of hope begins to rise
Loneliness fades as light defies
