Back Against the Wall (Unpeeled)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] I said, you've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall I'm stuck here in between these shadows of my yesterday I want to get away, I need to get away [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] I said, you've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall I'm stuck here in between these shadows of my yesterday I want to get away, I need to get away [Chorus] Now you know, yeah, you've 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've got my back against the wall [Verse 3] 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 [Pre-Chorus] I said, you've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall I'm stuck here in between these shadows of my yesterday I want to get away, I need to get away [Chorus] Now you know, yeah, you've 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've got my back against the wall Now you know, yeah, you've 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've got my back against the wall
