Lyrics for A Wall

From inside his mouth, I lick the blood While he's roaring and biting, I wash off the mud 'Cause the tempest is out to wrestle a while Stop charging, my darling, get closer, be quiet 'Cause where you see a wall, I see a door (we're entering a brave new world) Set out with no map and turn off your torch (and we're only but a second away) Where you see a wall, I see a door (take my hand and we can out-run time) You'll get through, you'll be home, you'll be home Ah, ah-ah Ah-ah Ah, ah-ah Ah-ah Ah, ah-ah Ah-ah Ah, ah-ah Ah-ah From inside his mouth, I lick the scars In the woodland, the leaves are marking a path And if you'd just rest your head, stop repeating the charge You know that this time will turn all the locks 'Cause where you see a wall, I see a door (we're entering a brave new world) Just set out with no map and turn off your torch (and we're only but a second away) 'Cause where you see a wall, I see a door (take my hand and we can out-run time) You'll get through, you'll be home, you'll be home Ah, ah-ah Ah-ah Ah, ah-ah Ah-ah Ah, ah-ah Ah-ah Ah, ah-ah Ah-ah Just sit still, does it hurt? Does it hurt? (Ah-ah) Just sit still, does it hurt? Does it hurt? (Ah-ah) Just sit still, does it hurt? Does it hurt? (Ah-ah) (yeah, yeah) Just sit still, does it hurt? Does it hurt? (Ah-ah) (oh, yeah) Yeah, yeah-yeah Oh, oh
