the first verse does kinda leave you hanging. but you are right about the 2 barriers. it's like if the thoughts could get past the "walls" they still have to be able to get out of me and off my chest. you're also right about the chorus. I was hearing it in my head like someone shouting "why..." and while holding it, the rest of the line is sung. I really only like the chorus, but like I said, I was just jotting some stuff down to help get me in the right direction.
