Peter Gabriel - Wallflower Lyrics

6x6 - 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 Peter Gabriel Lyrics Wallflower Lyrics
