Floodlit blind and shrinking small
faces loom and form a wall
No escape and no reprise
i am on the run

Broken down and twisted out
faces turn to voice and shout
No free pass and no back door
i have come undone


Where were you when i fell?
Didn't you hear my cries?
You could have been my help
but now i'm out of time.

On the stand and on the spot
stripped away of all i've got
No camouflage, no safety net
i am all but shown

Overspill of hate and spite
drowning me from deep inside
No rebound and no payback
I can not go on.
