Back Against The Wall by Cage The Elephant

Tonight I'll have a look
And try to find my face again
Buried beneath this house
My spirit screams and dies again
Outback a monster wears
A cloak of (1)______________ leather
Behind the TV screen
I've fallen to my knees
I (2)________ you
Got me where you (3)________ me again
And I can't turn away
I'm hangin' by a thread
And I'm feelin' like a fool
I'm stuck here in between
The shadows of my yesterday
I (4)__________ get away
I need to get away
Blanket of silence
Makes me wanna (5)________ my (6)__________ in deep
Burn all the evidence
A fabricated disbelief
Pull back the curtains
Took a look (7)________ (8)________ eyes
My tongue has now become
A (9)________________ for (10)________ lies
I said you
Got me where you want me again
And I can't turn away
I'm hangin' by a thread
And I'm feelin' (11)________ a fool
I'm stuck (12)________ in between
The (13)______________ of my yesterday
I wanna get away
I need to get away
Now you know
Yeah you got my back against the wall
Oh God
I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down
Like a sittin' duck (14)________ waitin' for the fall
You know
Yeah you got my back against the wall

Deep in the jungle
Camouflaged by all the (15)____________ leaves
A hand holds up the sky
While shamefully I make my plea
The alter's callin'
But my (16)________ won't (17)________ to stand
Guess I'm a coward scared
To face the man I am
I said you
Got me where you (18)________ me again
And I can't turn away
I'm hangin' by a thread
And I'm feelin' like a fool
I'm stuck here in between
The shadows of my yesterday
I wanna get away
I need to get away
Now you know
Yeah you got my back against the wall
Oh God
I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down
Like a sittin' duck (19)________ waitin' for the fall
You know
Yeah you got my back against the wall

Now you know
Yeah you got my back against the wall
Oh God
I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down
Like a sittin' duck (20)________ waitin' for the fall
You know
Yeah you got my (21)________ against the wall
