lyrics

WATCHING THE WALLS

(Words & Music - Ian Proudlock & Scott Riley)

I’m not into doomsday prepping
I’m not into being a recluse
I just want a solo setting
But it seems such a flimsy excuse

To be just watchin’ the walls
Cocooning myself in my comfort zone now
Within these walls
I’m keepin’ it all together
In spite of it all
Haven retreating while
I’m looking forward to my release

Not planning on staying here forever
Some time I’ll be up and away
Before I’m at the end of my tether
Or cabin fever has its way

Still just watchin’ the walls…etc.

And when that day comes
Only then will I see how much has changed
Now will I be ready for it?
And will the world be ready for me?

Just watching’ the walls…etc.
