Back Against The Wall by Cage The Elephant

Tonight I'll have a look
And try to (1)________ my face again
Buried beneath this house
My spirit screams and dies again
Outback a monster wears
A cloak of Persian leather
Behind the TV screen
I've (2)____________ to my knees
I (3)________ you
Got me (4)__________ 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 stuck (5)________ in between
The (6)______________ of my yesterday
I wanna get away
I need to get away
Blanket of silence
Makes me wanna 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 hangin' by a thread
And I'm feelin' (7)________ a fool
I'm stuck here in between
The shadows of my yesterday
I wanna 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 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 turn away
I'm hangin' by a thread
And I'm feelin' like a fool
I'm stuck here in between
The shadows of my yesterday
I wanna 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 (8)__________ place to hide
Chained down
Like a sittin' duck just waitin' for the fall
You know
Yeah you got my back against the wall
