Scratched On A Wall Songtext
von The Damn Devils

I′ve been dreaming
Human rhyme and reason
Never wanting to accept a fate
And hogging all the evidence around me
My arms reaching out the iron gate
Kept in silence to control
With orders to be told
To not misstep and show my face

But here, stuck after all
Counting the days
Scratched on a wall

Here in lost time
Cantor chants that please my rhyme
Here's where I feel alive
Pulling darkness from the light


Where I′m scratching lines into a wall
Never meant to leave here anymore
Well I've been in this place before
It feels the same
But the same has to change after all
Scratched on a wall

I've been leaning on my meanness
Minding my own cleanness
And it feels great
The echoes that surround me
Bouncing off the walls
And riding sideways past my face
In meals to be cold
Silence to behold
Never hurting anyway

But here stuck after all
Counting the days
Scratched on a wall

Here in lost time
Cantor chants that chill the spine
Here′s where I feel alive
Pulling darkness from the light


Where I′m scratching lines into a wall
Never meant to leave here anymore
Well I've been in this place before
It feels the same
But the same has to change after all
Scratched on a wall

And every line they give you just to tame you
Everyone is walking, legs in chains
But evil eyes deceive you now, believer
You can′t do this, you can't go near
You′re shamed, shamed, shamed

In a time where eyes look evil
In a time we breathe the devil
In a time where masks are normal
In a time where I'm...

Scratching lines into a wall
Never meant to leave here anymore
Well I′ve been in this place before
We'll rise above the chains
Another day, another line is all
Scratched on a wall

My friends, we're nearing the end
Hang in tight and we′ll get through the bend
Just a glitch, just forget it, I said
Another day, another line is all
Scratched on a wall
