Wallflower Lyrics - Security - Peter Gabriel

6x6 - 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 

You mind is working overtime, your body's not too strong 

Hold on, hold on (x3) 

They put you in a box so you can't get hurt 

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 and 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 Hipppcratic 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 hurt 

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 you, I will do what I can do 

And I will do what I can do 

And I will do what I can do
