Fighting Gravity - Shattered And Torn lyrics

(Lyrics, Music: Triano, Peterson, Lawson, Boyd)

My back's to the wall, my hands are tied

Say goodbye to the sleepless night

The glass is shattered and torn, Shattered and torn

Look over your shoulder, run away from the pack

Down a vacant corridor

Turn the knife in your back, knife in your back

(Refrain)

Can't let my mind begin to slow

Or start to play the fool

The lamp is burning down to the core

No exceptions to the rule

The clock on the wall says it's getting late

Pick it up, don't hesitate

Even if it means you gotta let go

Take it down to the bottom line

Stripped bare, it seems unkind

And if you know what you want, the show is gonna last

(Refrain)

(Instrumental Break)

(Refrain)

The door is open, just step inside

And throw the guilt away

And if you know what you want, then that's the price that you pay

I've seen that look somewhere before

Promises those eyes have made

And now they're shattered and torn, shattered and torn

(Refrain)

No exceptions to the rule...
