Shattered And Torn Lyrics - Singles - Fighting Gravity

(Lyrics, Music: Triano, Peterson, Lawson, Boyd) 

My back's to the wall, my hands are tied 

Say goodbye to the sleepless night 

The glass is shattered and torn, Shattered and torn 

Look over your shoulder, run away from the pack 

Down a vacant corridor 

Turn the knife in your back, knife in your back 

(Refrain) 

Can't let my mind begin to slow 

or start to play the fool 

The lamp is burning down to the core 

No exceptions to the rule 

The clock on the wall says it's getting late 

Pick it up, don't hesitate 

Even if it means you gotta let go 

Take it down to the bottom line 

stripped bare, it seems unkind 

And if you know what you want, the show is gonna last 

(Refrain) 

(Instrumental Break) 

(Refrain) 

The door is open, just step inside 

And throw the guilt away 

And if you know what you want, then that's the price that you pay 

I've seen that look somewhere before 

promises those eyes have made 

And now they're shattered and torn, shattered and torn 

(Refrain) 

No exceptions to the rule...
