about

This is actually one of my oldest songs. I've always wanted to put it on a record, and it never made it before, so, here it is.

lyrics

Small City Walls
Shanna Underwood

What you do when what's expected isn't what you want
What you do say when what's right isn't what you mean
What do you dream when it's always the same scene
Is it you, or is it just me

The walls have started talking again
Sometimes the truth is thicker than your skin
This town is so small, don't think I can handle it at all
Being alone isn't the same as being lonely

Take off the cover, unscrew the lid
It might be the real thing, except it never is
Whey bother wearing a mask when everybody knows who you are
Then again, something here needs to change

The walls have started talking again
Sometimes the truth is thicker than your skin
This town is so small, don't think I can handle it at all
Being alone isn't the same as being lonely

Boxes confines labels I don't think I'm able
I'm falling down
One mistake is all it takes
Before you hit the ground

The walls have started talking again
Sometimes the truth is thicker than my skin
This town is so small, don't think I can stand it at all
Being alone isn't the same as being lonely
