Peter Gabriel - Wallflower (New Blood Version) lyrics

6 by 6 from wall to wall
Shutters on the windows, no light at all
Damp on the floor, you got damp in the bed
They're trying to get you crazy
Get you out of your head
And they feed you scraps and
They feed you lies
To lower your defences, no compromise
Nothing you can do, the day can be long
Your mind is working overtime
Your body's not too strong

Hold on, hold on hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

They put you in a box so you can't get heard
Let your spirit stay unbroken
May you not be deterred
Hold on, you have gambled with your own life
And you face the night alone
While the builders of the cages
Sleep with bullеts, bars and stone
They do not see your road to freedom
That you build with flesh and bonе

They take you out and the
Light burns your eyes
To the talking room, it's no surprise
Loaded questions from clean white coats
Their eyes are all as hidden
As their Hippocratic Oath
They tell you how to behave
Behave as their guest
You want to resist them, you do your best
They take you to your limit's
They take you beyond
For all that they are doing
There's no way to respond

Hold on, hold on

They put you in a box so you can't get heard
Let your spirit stay unbroken
May you not be deterred
Hold on, you have gambled with your own life
And you face the night alone
While the builders of the cages
Sleep with bullets, bars and stone
They do not see your road to freedom

That you build with flesh and bone
Though you may disappear
You're not forgotten here
And I will say to you
I will do what I can do
You may disappear, you're not forgotten here
And I will say to you
I will do what I can do
And I will do what I can do
And I will do what I can do
