Back to the Wall

I won\'t let this dark and stormy cloud hang over me

And the way it makes me feel right now I know, won’t always be

My ears ring in the silence, it’s all that’s around

My fears sing in the choir but they don’t make a sound

It’s hard to see, but I’m bound to break free

In spite all the pain that’s been botherin’ me

You gotta answer the call while standin’ up tall

And do all you can with your back to the wall

Now don’t it feel just like the hands of time slow down the future

Just as fast as one can move along with a bleak sense of humor

The taste of pills and cheap thrills aren’t all that amusin’

Just when you think that you\'re the only one son

It’s not just yourself you’re abusin’

It’s hard to see, but I’m bound to break free

In spite all the stress and the anxiety

You gotta answer the call while standin’ up tall

And do all you can with your back to the wall

You see I’m searchin’ for that piece of mind that just let’s me breathe

It’s like I’m lookin’ for a blatant sign that lies somewhere beneath

There’s this never endin’ voice inside and it gets louder as I grow older

And it seems to say just with a little pride, boy you better get that chip off your shoulder

It’s hard to see, but I’m bound to break free

In spite all the pain that’s been swallowin’ me

You gotta answer the call while standin’ up tall

And do all you can with your back to the wall

Yeah and do all you can with your back to the wall

And do all you can with your back to the wall
