Black and white.
Shades of gray into the night.
I put pen to paper and I write.
I sleep it off, I'll be alright.
Crawling out
Of my skin into the doubt.
Silently I scream and shout
Off to war, this soldier's down

[Chorus]
You have my back against the wall
Oh tell me how to end it all
And I'll be the first to fall, the first to fall

It's my crime
The prisoner of war I hide
I have learned to go inside
I have learned to bide my time

[Chorus]
You have my back against the wall
Oh tell me how to end it all
And I'll be the first to fall, the first to fall

All the noise, all the noise, all the noise I hear
It never really makes it clear
What keeps me hanging on again
And oh the fear and all the fear and all the fear, all the fear I know
Well it never really lets me go
From this choke hold

[Chorus x2]
You have my back against the wall
Oh tell me how to end it all
And I'll be the first to fall, the first to fall
