lyrics

talking to a concrete wall
and the wall becomes my friend
bouncing back every rubber ball
that i’m trying to throw away
the ground’s a flimsy plastic
and the ceiling’s manufactured
but i’ve come to see
that this wall of concrete
is simply a force of nature

and it’s not what
the wall says back to me
it’s all the time i’m waiting for
a word to reach my ears
cause i am so sure
i know where it will be
i’m braced to be an optimist
i manifest my belief
i exist

a little thought like a splinter
digs its way under my skin
i pick at it out of boredom
and it burrows deeper in
the skin grows back around it
and i‘ll forget about it soon
then when i’m staring at the clock
it‘ll be here with me in my room

i’m throwing a ball
i see it demonstrating speed
until it meets a concrete wall
it won’t return to me
did i throw it right this time
or was i off again
i’m picturing the path this ball
could take to find my hand
i’m closing my eyes because
what i see deceives me
i’m focusing my mind and i am
willing it to be

and it doesn’t really matter what
the wall says back to me
it’s all the time i’m waiting for
a word to reach my ears
cause i am so sure
i know where it will be
i’m braced to be an optimist
i’m pretty sure i exist
at least i think
