From the recording Bad Hand
Lyrics
Boxed into a corner
Think they’re gonna help you out? Well, they won’t. It’s something that you fight for
So find your own way out
Locked into a prison
Indecision’s tearing down to the bone Whatever you desire? The fire’s burning out.
//
Stuck here caged in, always waiting For what? Oh, for what? Shifting, turning always yearning For what? Oh, for what?
//
Can’t fight it, try to keep it quiet The voices shouting give it up Just reeling, nothing but a feeling Emotionally tripping up Gatekeeper, dig a little deeper It’s never gonna go away Can’t fight it, so hear me when I say
//
I’m a tough act to follow,
Choking on the truth is such a tricky pill to swallow But we found a way out
To redefine the kind of thing you sing about
Oh yes
(Oh yes)
Oh no
(Oh no)
The voices in the crowd are in control
Cut those ties say your goodbyes and go
//
Can’t fight it, try to keep it quiet
The voices shouting give it up
Just reeling, nothing but a feeling Emotionally tripping up
Gatekeeper, dig a little deeper
It’s never gonna go away
(Never gonna go away)
Can’t fight it, so hear me when I say
//
Stuck here caged in
Always waiting
Shifting, turning
Always yearning
//
So this is what you came for?
Show show me what you came for
Show me!
