Back Against the Wall

from Land of Sleep by Allusion

lyrics

Are you sleeping?

I’ve been dreaming bits and pieces
Now awake is asleep
In the bed of indignation
Left to beg and to plead

Stripped down to my worst enemy
All that’s left is instinct
All that’s left of me

Struck down by tension again
Seeking return from defeat
Questioning my persistence
I have no strength to repeat

Make your mark or be buried
Which path do you choose?
After all you’ve got nothing to lose

My world
Life on my own terms
My life
I decide which way to turn
Back against the wall
Come whatever May
No time
There is no other way

Meaningless existence
Left without a friend
Paralyzed --submission
Scattered to the wind

Make your mark or be buried
Which path do you choose?
After all you’ve got nothing to lose

My world
Life on my own terms
My life
I decide which way to turn
Back against the wall
Come whatever May
No time
There is no other way

When you find yourself at your final excuse
Someone’s pulled the ground from underneath you
You know you’ve lost your way
Place your bet and that’s the price you pay
You can’t refuse

You’ve got to lift yourself from all the abuse
And there you stand beaten, broken, and bruised
You know you’ve lost your way
Place your bet and that’s the price you pay
You can’t refuse

My world
Life on my own terms
My life
I decide which way to turn

Back against the wall
Come whatever May
No time
There is no other way

Go

Make your mark or be buried
Which path do you choose?
After all you’ve got nothing to lose

And after all you’ve got nothing to lose
Make your mark or be buried
Which path do you choose?

Which path do you choose?
