Cage The Elephant - Back Against The Wall Lyrics

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 
Like a sittin’ duck just waitin’ for the fall 
You know 
Yeah you got my back against the wall
