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 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 hanging by 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 sittin' 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 alters 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 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 sittin' 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 sittin' duck just waiting for the fall You know, yeah, you got my back against the wall
