Walls Rise

from Exhilaration of Exile by Memory Mines

lyrics

Exhibit A:
You tried to escape being alone, but when you melt into your chair in public, feeling the molecules of someones words float through you. When people are around but you cannot feel their presence. It's like living on a foreign planet, wandering. Music becomes artificial, movies become untasteful, love becomes unbearable. There isn't a question I can ask nor an answer I can get that will get me what I am looking for. Pinpointing moments of where it began thinking it held a key to unlock the future, only to no avail, sinking further into a day in which light would not shine. Gathering help to hear, you think too much, you are not special, and I don't know what is wrong with you? Passing judgement in a chair you have been buried beneath for years. Maybe we aren't too different. One was a paycheck and one was for livelihood. The way back is a hard.

Exhibit B:
Fade into chiming bell. Compacted. Compartmentalized. No marketing. Hiding in the street noise. Hiding in the shade. Cycle starts. Wheel spins. Greetings taken slowly or not at all. Force a smile or they’ll think you hate them. Make a joke or they’ll ask questions. Work until you bleed to leave your mark. Let your actions speak louder than your words, because you don’t want to talk about it.
