What's In The Walls by Sunny Grimm ( https://bsky.app/profile/sunnydfangirl.bsky.social ) and Lara Bartel ( larabartel.bandcamp.com )

It's cold in the morning 
You're quiet at night 
You'll find it hard to feel 
it will all be alright 

The world is spinning faster 
While you're rooted to the spot 
But you'll just smile with no teeth 
And pose with arms crossed 

This shouldn't be your prison cell 
Of hesistance and fear 
I wish you could have heard the signs 
of something great, my dear 

Kid, there's a brighter world out there 
Look past the noise, taste more than incense 
Step into the sun 
There's something hiding in the walls 
So grab a hammer and some hoping 
And soon you'll find you 

Still cold in the morning 
But an autumn sky draws near 
It'll melt all the ice that you're floating in 
And set you free to swim right here 

Your isolation makes me weep 
But we know you'll break through 
And the reason I'm so sure of this 
Is 'cause my dear, I'm you 

Kid, there's a brighter world out there 
Look past the noise, taste more than incense 
Step into the sun 
There's something hiding in the walls 
So grab a hammer and some hoping 
And soon you'll find 

You don't know it yet 
But the best is yet to come 
There's so much more to life 
than sacraments for some 
And I know you don't deserve 
to be cloistered in reserve 
But you'll be fine 
There's nothing wrong 
With feeling all these painful somethings everlong 

Kid, there's a brighter world out there 
Look past the noise, taste more than incense 
Step into the sun 
There's something hiding in the walls 
So grab a hammer and some hoping 
And soon you'll find you 

Kid, there's a sunny day out there 
Look past the cover of your sunshade 
There's something to this "love" 
You know what's kept back in the walls 
You'll stand up straighter when she's free 
And then you'll find —
