Heatherlee Eldridge - Me

Know me
how could you know me
this wall, so big, gigantic it seems
with each brick I built this wall around me
layers and layers of hell around me
this wall, so big, gigantic it seems
with each brick I lay it suffocates me
trapping me deeper so I can not see
this wall, so big, gigantic it seem
higher and higher it envelops me
smothering, stifling so I can not scream
this wall, so big, gigantic it seems
I scratch, I dig as it encapsulates me
how could you know me
this wall, so big, gigantic it seems
layers of bricks to isolate me
'I was here'
this wall, so big, gigantic it seems.....
