Twenty one guns on twenty one planes
As my four walls declare me insane
I need to get out of this brain
So I'm paying down my fight
There's protest carved into this floor
And the stairs creak with unrest
The doors are just walls and the windows are false
I'm prisoner not guest
I can't take anymore
Cacophony in my head
This pride and that lust-- I'm sure I've had enough--
I want something else instead
The days lengthening as the sky's turning green
Don't know which way I'm going
Swirling storm of faces I've worn
All the while never knowing
My compass clocks out my brain starts to shout
And the light it seems to stop glowing
Twenty one guns on twenty one planes
As my four walls declare me insane
I need to get out of this brain
So I'm paying down my fight
The artist paints open a door
And walks out into the open air
Images on the sidewalk dance through the breeze without any cares
