These Four Walls Songtext
von Alicia Stockman

These four walls
Always the same to me
Stark white, cold as ice
And empty

Dust in the corners
Cobwebs in the eaves
Just long term storage
Of who I used to be

Open the doors
Let the light in
Let the cross-wind breathe
Life in to this house again
Take these hollow halls
Make a home from
These four walls

Shuttered in
My fiercely guarded post
Haunted by unwanted
But familiar ghosts


I don′t want to go out
I don't want to air my wounds
′Cause what if all my fears
Turn out to be true?

Open the doors
Let the light in
Let the cross-wind breathe
Life in to this house again
Take these hollow halls
Make a home from
These four walls

What are walls but
Plaster lath and pine?
Sturdy frame, vacant space
Where love's denied

Ring the bell
Let yourself in
Show me how
To unlock my heart again
Take these hollow halls
Make a home from
These four walls


Open the doors
Let the light in
Let the cross-wind breathe
Life in to this house again
Take these hollow halls
Make a home from
These four walls
