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 got me where you want me again

and i can't turn away

i'm hangin' by a thread and i'm feelin' like a fool

i'm stuck here in between

the 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 got me where you want me again

and i can't turn away

i'm hangin' by a thread and i'm feelin' like a fool

i'm stuck here in between

the shadows of my yesterday

i want to get away

i need to get away

now you know

yeah you 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 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 callin'

but my legs won't seem to stand

guess i'm a coward

scared to face the man i am

i said you got me where you want me again

and i can't turn away

i'm hanging by a thread and i'm feeling like a fool

i'm stuck here in between

the shadows of my yesterday

i want to get away

i need to get away

now you know

yeah you 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 got my back against the wall

now

you know

yeah you 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 got my back against the wall.
