Lyrics
0:00Like a sittin’ duck just waitin’ for the fall
0:00Like a sittin’ duck just waitin’ for the fall
0:18Tonight I’ll have a look
0:20And try to find my face again
0:23Buried beneath this house
0:24My spirit screams and dies again
0:27Out back a monster wears a cloak of Persian leather
0:32Behind the TV screen
0:34I've fallen to my knees
0:35I said you got me where you want me again
0:38And I can’t turn away
0:40I'm hanging by thread and I'm feelin’ like a fool
0:44I'm stuck here in-between
0:46The shadows of my yesterday
0:48I want to get away
0:50I need to get away
0:53Blanket of silence
0:55Makes me want to sink my teeth in deep
0:58Burn all the evidence
0:59A fabricated disbelief
1:00Pull back the curtains
1:03Took a look into your eyes
1:05My tongue has now become
1:08A platform for your lies
1:10I said you got me where you want me again
1:13And I can’t turn away
1:15I'm hanging by thread and I'm feelin’ like a fool
1:19I'm stuck here in-between
1:21The shadows of my yesterday
1:23I want to get away
1:25I need to get away
1:27Now you know
1:30Yeah you got my back against the wall
1:33Oh god
1:34I ain't got no other place to hide
1:37Chained down
1:38Like a sittin’ duck just waitin’ for the fall
1:42You know
1:43Yeah you got my back against the wall
1:55Deep in the jungle
1:56Camouflaged by all the fallen leaves
1:59A hand holds up the sky
2:00While shamefully I make my plea
2:02The alters callin’
2:05But my legs won’t seem to stand
2:07Guess I'm a coward
2:08Scared to face the man I am
2:11I said you got me where you want me again
2:14And I can’t turn away
2:16I'm hanging by thread and I'm feelin’ like a fool
2:20I'm stuck here in-between
2:21The shadows of my yesterday
2:23I want to get away
2:26I need to get away
2:29Now you know
2:30Yeah you got my back against the wall
2:34Oh god
2:35I ain't got no other place to hide
2:38Chained down
2:39Like a sittin’ duck just waitin’ for the fall
2:42You know
2:44Yeah you got my back against the wall
3:24Now you know
3:24Yeah you got my back against the wall
3:26Oh god
3:28I ain't got no other place to hide
3:36Chained down you know Yeah you got my back against the wall
Like a sittin’ duck just waitin’ for the fall Like a sittin’ duck just waitin’ for the fall 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 A 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 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 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 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 you know Yeah you got my back against the wall
