Can I take this for granted
With your eyes over me?
In this place
This wintery home
I know there's always someone in

And so I face the wall
Turn my back against it all
How I wish I'd been unborn
Wish I was unliving here

I'll pull the bricks down
One by one

Hey hey hey

Leave a big hole in the wall
Just where you are looking in
