Watching the Walls Fall Down

How did it get to this point?

Standing here

Watching the walls fall down

And I’m just numb

I should’ve seen it coming

I pushed too hard

Too far

Not happy enough with what I had

And traded it in for nothing

The barriers between us

Are now closing in on top of me

And I can’t breathe

But there’s no escape

I did this to myself

Like Icarus’s wings

I flew too close to something beautiful

And now I’m burning on reentry

Crashing to the ground

You’re the one that would’ve caught me

But you’re on the other side

Trying to maintain the borders

I was tunneling under

Too sure of myself to realize

I’d only bring them down

Right on top of my head
