Back me into a corner,
Strip off every smile,
Another moment to be erased,
Put it in the pile,
Peel away the light,
Leave the misery raw,
No I haven't forgotten,
Haven't misplaced before,

Every day,
Another inch,
Closer to the heights,
That you create,
No satisfaction,
No release,
Until you see me break,


I can't see hope,
Not even a distant gleam,
Every exit route,
Is never as it seems,
Every remaining line,
Arises cruel temptation,
Nothing I can use,
To soothe this inflammation,

Every day,
Another inch,
Closer to the heights,
That you create,
No satisfaction,
No release,
Until you see me break.
