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 hanging by a thread
and I’m feeling like a fool.
I’m stuck here 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 hanging by a thread
and I’m feeling like a fool.
I’m stuck here 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 calling 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 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.
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.
