These four walls are tall
Surround me round, go beneath me
Secure grounding when I fall down
And now your hand goes a little too strong
You’re going a little too strong
Have a look around, have a look around
Go underneath me
Underneath me
Have a look around, have a look around
Go, go
Have a look around, have a look around
Go underneath it of it
Underneath it of it all, all, all, all, all
You around, I crawl
Softly thinking all your talking
I go shy and cover my myself
Good things insist on getting too close
You’re getting a little too close, close
Have a look around, have a look around
Go underneath me
Underneath me
Have a look around, have a look around
Go, go
Have a look around, have a look around
Go underneath it of it
Underneath it of it all, all, all, all, all
Ha hide
Beauty lies
In the back of my mind, I see myself being with you
I’d like to think thats how you wanted it too
I exist to resist, I want things I cannot change
Doubtful dictate, all the things you can’t erase
I’ll try my best, to stay tall, stay strong
Imagine if I could, all that I would do
its they’ve raised me, its how they’ve built
and how I’ve stood, no matter what you give, and all you take
Have a look around, have a look around
Go underneath me
Underneath me
Have a look around, have a look around
Go, go
Have a look around, have a look around
Go underneath it of it
Underneath it of it all, all, all, all, all
