Behind the Wall by Kyle Frenette
I built a wall with old emotions I don ’ t use anymore It ’ s a desolate space , but it ’ s safe Some days , there ’ s a window I can scream through Some days , there ’ s a locked door Some days , there ’ s a key that doesn ’ t fit the lock Some days , there ’ s a phone with no line Some days , there ’ s a picture of old memories And some days , only some days , There ’ s an escape — But on those days , I close the door , Keeping me safe inside forever .
