  • Far from the electric floor
    Removed from the red meat market
    I look for a fire door
    An escape from the drums and barking
    Bereft of all social charms
    I'm struck dumb by the hand of fear
    I've fallen into the corner's arms
    Same way that I've done for years

    I'm trapped in a collapsing building
    Come find me now, we'll hideout
    We'll speak in our secret tongues
    Will you come back to my corner? Spent too long alone tonight
    Would you come and brighten my corner? A lit torch to the woodpile high

    Dead wood waits to ignite
    There's no spark on a dampened floor
    A snapped limb in an unlit fire
    Won't you come and break down this door?

    I'm trapped in an abandoned building,
    Come find me now, we'll hideout
    We'll speak in our secret tongues
    Will you come back to my corner? Spent too long alone tonight
    Would you come and brighten corner? A lit torch to the woodpile high

    Will you come back to my corner? Spent too long alone tonight
    Would you come and brighten my corner? A lit torch to the woodpile high
    Will you come back to my corner? Spent too long alone tonight
    Would you come and brighten my corner? A lit torch to the woodpile
    Come find me now, we'll hideout, we'll speak in our secret tongues Writer/s: ANDY MONAGHAN, DAVID WILLIAM LAWRENCE KENNEDY, GRANT DAVID HUTCHISON, RUSSELL GORDON SKENE, SCOTT JOHN HUTCHISON

  • Shawne from Panama City Beach, Fl.The description of the lyrics to the song was extremely accurate and even specific to me on a personal level as to a recent release from incarceration where i involuntarily entered into a relentless and merciless MATRIX where i was forced to function in roles i was neither familiar or comfortable with.
