Title: Back Against The Wall

Lyrics Back Against The Wall

Tonight i 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 fall onto my knees,

I say you got me were 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.

Blanket of silence makes me want to sink my teeth in deep,
Burn all the evidence in fabricated disbelief.
Pulled back the curtains took a look into your eyes,
My tongue has now become a platform for your lies,

I say you got me were 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, yah you got my back against the wall,
Oh god, i ain’t got no other place to hide,
Chained up, like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall,
You know, yah 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 alters callin’ but my legs wont seem to stand,
Guess i’m a coward scared to face the man i am.

I said you got me were 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, yah you got my back against the wall,
Oh god, i ain’t got no other place to hide,
Chained up, like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall,
You know, yah you got my back against the wall.



I said you got me were 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, yah you got my back against the wall,
Oh god, i ain’t got no other place to hide,
Chained up, like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall,
You know, yah you got my back against the wall.

Now, you know, yah you got my back against the wall,
Oh god, i ain’t got no other place to hide,
Chained up, like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall,
You know, yah you got my back against the wall.
