There's too many closets, oh, when will we fall?

I'm gonna go over the Berlin Wall
Claustrophobia, there's too much paranoia
There's too many closets, oh, when will we fall?

Time: 0:25
I hate the boxes, they suffocate me
Big claustrophobia, it's not simple
It's never simple, ah

(Crystalline)
I conquer claustrophobia
(Crystalline)

Time: 1:29
Even when I clear my head to make room
Still feel claustrophobia, I can't move
Can you make it stop?

Time: 0:17
It's informing claustrophobia
You've been waiting for the end of the line

Time: 0:43
The focus is gone
Claustrophobia
The walls are slowly closing in

Time: 1:38
No innocent exit when hope dies
And claustrophobia buys my mind
I ran to breathe contagious lies

Time: 0:22
An animal
The claustrophobia begins
You think I'm scared of girls

Time: 0:56
I just know I'm going to go insane
The feeling of claustrophobia setting in
So now I'm on the warpath

Time: 0:17
To level the pressure
And the claustrophobia
It comes and goes

Time: 1:44
Gotta be peaceful 'cause mentally, I've been in a war
I'm insecure with claustrophobia, walls closin' in
Wrote a song and it felt like me and God holdin' hands

Time: 1:50
Train broke down and we were stuck in the dark.
Subway tunnel claustrophobia, best suit, wrinkled and damp,
Finally when I crawled up to her door, she said, "Goodbye chump!"

Time: 0:33
When the culture runs deep
Claustrophobia kicks in
And I'm left tryna break this fucking ceiling

Time: 1:55
A panic room so haunting in your chest
Ventricular claustrophobia
How long can you keep repressed

Time: 0:30
It's gonna be synonymous with clearing your head to some people
Creating space helps that claustrophobia feeling from within
I focus
