Cracks in the Walls

(Intro)

Mmhmm

(Verse 1)

Rooms full of shadows, whispers in the hall

Mama yelling loud, daddy ain’t home at all

Cold nights, cold floors, blankets never clean

Counting every lie, replaying every scene

I hear the slamming doors, the breaking glass

Trying to disappear, but the pain won’t pass

Neighbors talking loud, sirens in the night

I learned young that nothing here was right

The fridge was empty, the bills piled high

Mama working late, trying not to cry

I crawled into corners, hid under the bed

Praying for silence, wishing I was dead

Every broken promise, every shattered dream

Built a world inside me, torn at the seams

(Hook)

Cracks in the wall, cracks in the wall

Hear them screaming, hear them call

Cracks in the wall, cracks in the wall

I can’t escape, I’m trapped in it all

Tell me I should end it all

Pull the trigger, paint these walls

(Verse 2)

School hallways echo with the pain I hide

Kids laughing at me, teachers turning aside

Lunchroom whispers, pointing fingers, cruel

Every day another fight, another rule

I tried to speak up, tried to be heard

But every word I said got twisted, blurred

Pencils thrown, backpacks kicked down stairs

I walked alone, drowning in their stares

The notes in my locker, calling me names

Every gym class, every game, another shame

I scribbled in my notebook, let my anger bleed

Turned my hurt into verses, my pain into speed

The echo of their voices haunted every night

I learned to keep quiet, keep my fists tight

(Hook)

Cracks in the wall, cracks in the wall

Hear them screaming, hear them call

Cracks in the wall, cracks in the wall

I can’t escape, I’m trapped in it all

Tell me I should end it all

Pull the trigger, paint these walls

(Bridge)

I hear them whispering, I hear them laugh

Every broken memory, every photograph

Can’t shake the echoes, they follow me

The cracks in the wall are all I see

(Hook)

Cracks in the wall, cracks in the wall

Hear them screaming, hear them call

Cracks in the wall, cracks in the wall

I can’t escape, I’m trapped in it all

Tell me I should end it all

Pull the trigger, paint these walls
