crumbling walls
Ruins losing integrity
Crumbling walls are walls in a state of decay, their material gradually breaking apart and falling away.
The phrase evokes neglect, age, and the slow erosion of what was once solid: The crumbling walls of the abandoned factory.
Figuratively, crumbling walls suggest failing defenses or dissolving barriers: The crumbling walls between work and personal life.
