Back Against The Wall by Cage The Elephant
Tonight I'll have a look
And try to find my face again
Buried beneath this house
My spirit screams and dies again
Outback a monster wears
A cloak of (1)______________ 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 hangin' by a thread
And I'm feelin' like a fool
I'm (2)__________ here in between
The shadows of my yesterday
I wanna get away
I need to get away
Blanket of silence
Makes me wanna (3)________ my teeth in deep
Burn all the evidence
A fabricated disbelief

My tongue has now become
A (4)________________ for your lies

Got me where you want me again
And I can't (5)________ away
I'm hangin' by a thread

I'm stuck here in between
The shadows of my yesterday
I wanna get away
I need to get away
Now you know

The alter's 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 (6)________ away
