Wallflower lyrics

Six by six

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

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.

They take you out,

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 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

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!
