Christy Moore - 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
