lyrics

Holding out your hands and needing more
Count the times I tried
Though I failed to even the score

Will this be your one and only truth?
Can you take a cold hard look
Who you’ve been and what you tried to prove?

Time slows down to a crawl
Is your back against the wall?

Cover up the reason you know
Ride it out of town
and you find there’s no where left to go

Standing on the here and the now
When it goes to seed
Do you pull or push on the plow?

Do I know you at all?
Is your back against the wall?

Are you ground into meal?
Been broken down by a Catherine wheel
Is your back against the wall?
Will you take the fall and scream out loud “I don’t know you at all”?

solo

Can you see me at all?
Is my back against the wall?

Your promises have fallen through
When the time has come
What in the world are we to do?

Time slows down to a crawl
When your back’s against the wall
