The tile in the kitchen is cracking
The stairs through the basement are sinking
Somebody told me I'm crazy
Thinking past the limits of thinking
The crevice in the ceiling is rusting
Who knows when it will cave in?
The image of a broken heart bursting
In the window that mirrors my skin

I am walking through this city
Trying to avoid the sidewalk cracks
Every step that I'm taking
I fear I'm under attack

They're on to me
And I am scared to no end
Once I had the control
Rules were there to bend
But now they're on to me
And I don't know how to get out
The thought never crossed my mind
I've run out of time

The fire from the stove is blazing
Spreading throughout my home
I didn't know what I was risking
Living here all alone
I could go out to the country
And hide there among the mountains
But sooner or later I'd grow thirsty
And wish I could drink from the fountains

I am walking through this city
Trying to avoid the sidewalk cracks
Every step that I'm taking
I fear I'm under attack

They're on to me
And I am scared to no end
Once I had the control
Rules were there to bend
But now they're on to me
And I don't know how to get out
The thought never crossed my mind
I've run out of time
