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 feelin' like a fool
I'm stuck here in-between
The shadows of my yesterday
I wanna 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 feelin' like a fool
I'm stuck here in-between
The shadows of my yesterday
I wanna 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 waitin' 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 a thread and I'm feelin' like a fool
I'm stuck here in-between
The shadows of my yesterday
I wanna 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 waitin' 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 waitin' for the fall
You know
Yeah you got my back against the wall
