i'd trade these four walls   and these curtains without thinking   inside air can't compare   to this town in the summertime   it's hard to focus there's this constant sound   like t.v. only worse   it's low and dull but always there      my fear of failure keeps me standing still   (until now)   i'll pull this off someday      they took the best part of our neighborhood   and made it like the rest   lifeless, flat, and so ugly   we can't see anything in whole   some can't see anything at all   we can't see past the walls   we put up right before ourselves
