Wallflower Lyrics by 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
