Public Overthrow Songtext
von Tapes in Motion

This is my recognition
My public overthrow
Inside I′m bound to break
But on the outside, I can't show

This is my reputation
My castle built of sand
Everyone thinks they know me
But they don′t understand

I'm double-sided and I can't hide it
These walls are closing in on my mind
And though I fight it, I can′t rewrite it
These haunted walls won′t leave me behind


This is my declaration
My silent, secret war
A battle fought in shadows
Behind my bedroom door

You see a painted picture
But cracks begin to show
The face I wear is breaking
But you don't have to know

I′m double-sided and I can't hide it
These walls are closing in on my mind
And though I fight it, I can′t rewrite it
These haunted walls won't leave me behind

When it gets that time of night
When nothing feels alright, I′m swallowed by emptiness
I try to hold control but I know I'll lose my soul
Why can't I just let it go?


I′m double-sided and I can′t hide it
These walls are closing in on my mind
And though I fight it, I can't rewrite it
These haunted walls won′t leave me behind
