Wallflower |
| 6×6 — from wall to wall |
| Shutters on the windows, no light at all |
| Damp on the floor you got damp on the bed |
| They’re trying to get you crazy — get you out of your head |
| They feed you scraps and they feed you lies |
| To lower your defences, no compromise |
| Nothing you can do, they day can be long |
| You mind is working overtime, you body’s not too strong |
| 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 |
| They sleep with bullets, bars and stone |
| They do not see your road to freedom |
| That you build with flesh and bone |
| They take you out — the light burns your eyes |
| To the talking room — it’s not surprise |
| Loaded questions from clean white coats |
| Their eyes are all as hidden as their Hipppcratic Oath |
| They tell you — how to behave, hehave as their guest |
| You want to resist them, you do your best |
| They take you to your limits, 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 |
| They 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 you you, I will do what I can do And I will do what I can do And I will do what I can do |
