“A Wall” is the third single off Bat for Lashes' third album, The Haunted Man.

[Verse 1]
From inside his mouth, I lick the blood
While he's roaring and biting, I wash off the mud
'Cause the tempest is out to wrestle a while

Just sit still, does it hurt? Does it hurt?
Just sit still, does it hurt? Does it hurt?
Just sit still, does it hurt? Does it hurt?
