They're On To Me Lyrics - Someone To Tell - Ari Hest

The tile in the kitchen is cracking 

The stairs through the basement are sinking 

Somebody told me I'm crazy 

Thinking past the limits of thinking 

The crevice in the ceiling is rusting 

Who knows when it will cave in? 

The image of a broken heart bursting 

In the window that mirrors my skin 

I am walking through this city 

Trying to avoid the sidewalk cracks 

Every step that I'm taking 

I fear I'm under attack 

They're on to me 

And I am scared to no end 

Once I had the control 

Rules were there to bend 

But now they're on to me 

And I don't know how to get out 

The thought never crossed my mind 

I've run out of time 

The fire from the stove is blazing 

Spreading throughout my home 

I didn't know what I was risking 

Living here all alone 

I could go out to the country 

And hide there among the mountains 

But sooner or later I'd grow thirsty 

And wish I could drink from the fountains 

I am walking through this city 

Trying to avoid the sidewalk cracks 

Every step that I'm taking 

I fear I'm under attack 

They're on to me 

And I am scared to no end 

Once I had the control 

Rules were there to bend 

But now they're on to me 

And I don't know how to get out 

The thought never crossed my mind 

I've run out of time
