Back Against the Wall

Tonight, I'll have a look and try to find my face again

Buried beneath this house, my spirit screams and dies again

Out back, a monster wears a cloak of Persian leather

Behind the TV screen, I've fallen to my knees

I said, you've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away

I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall

I'm stuck here in between these shadows of my yesterday

I want to get away, I need to get away

Blanket of silence makes me want to sink my teeth in deep

Burn all the evidence of fabricated disbelief

Pull back the curtains, took a look into your eyes

My tongue has now become a platform for your lies

I said, you've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away

I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall

I'm stuck here in between these shadows of my yesterday

I want to get away, I need to get away

Now you know, yeah, you've got my back against the wall

Oh, God, I ain't got no other place to hide

Chained down, like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall

You know, yeah, you've got my back against the wall

Deep in the jungle, camouflaged by all the fallen leaves

A hand holds up the sky while, shamefully, I make my plea

The altar's calling, but my legs won't seem to stand

Guess I'm a coward scared to face the man I am

I said, you've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away

I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall

I'm stuck here in between these shadows of my yesterday

I want to get away, I need to get away

Now you know, yeah, you've got my back against the wall

Oh, God, I ain't got no other place to hide

Chained down, like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall

You know, yeah, you've got my back against the wall

Now you know, yeah, you've got my back against the wall

Oh, God, I ain't got no other place to hide

Chained down, like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall

You know, yeah, you've got my back against the wall
