Duels - Perimeter Fence lyrics

Nothing ever changed, did it? Your mother got her teeth fixed but still said the same things Nothing's going to change, is it? Your father still watches the same shows and laughs at the same jokes And all around you hums and sings Sits still, stands up, the phone it rings Inside you're turning cartwheels In there, you are alive You press your nose against the walls And walk the perimeter fence You have a tight grip, at least you thought you did You can see good in all this But you are starting to lose focus So tell them all your grand ideas The ones you've been planning for all these years These are not idle schemes These are hopes and these are dreams And all around you hums and sings Sits still, stands up, the phone still rings Inside you're turning cartwheels In there, you are alive You press your nose against the walls and walk the perimeter fence The morning comes around again And slowly lights your simple pen A truly modern fortress You think, "These walls will never hold us" You press your nose against them all And walk the perimeter fence, walk the perimeter fence But there's no holes in this crude defence Just tiny cracks that are acting as vents And outside looking in - surely others like you?
