wallflower

Lyrics

six by six from wall to wall, shutters on the windows, no light at all, damp on the floor, damp in your bed, they're trying to drive you crazy get you out of your head, they feed you scraps they feed you lies, to lower your defences, no compromise, there's nothing you can do, your days are long, your mind is working overtime your body's not that strong, hold on, hold on, they take you out the light burns your eyes, in the talking room there's no surprise, twisted questions clean white coats, their eyes are as hidden as their hippocratic oaths, they tell you to behave, behave as their guest, you try to resist them you do your best, they take you to the limit they take you beyond, no matter what they say to you there's no way to respond, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, they put you in a box so you can't be heard, may your spirit be unbroken may you not be deterred, hold on. you have gambled with your own night, you spend the night alone, while the builders of the cages sleep with bullets bars and stones, they can't see the road to freedom you have built with flesh and bone, though you may disappear, you're not forgotten here, i will say to you, we will do what we can do
