No Way Out
Pink Cream 69 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I Can't Sleep But I've Gotta Pass The Time
I Can't Think When I Loose My Mind
And It's Kills Me Inside To Make Me Wonder

I Can't Fall When I'm Crawling On The Ground
I Can't Hear When I Make A Sound
And It's High Time To Leave This Rock I'm Under
I Make Waves But You Always Take Control
I Wanna Scream But It Burns My Throat
Until Every Single Hour, I Loose A Little Power

No Way Out - For Me
I've Got To Find My Dignity
Cuz Nothing Else Can Take Away This Sorrow

No Way Out - For Me
I'm Not The Man I Used To Be
But I Can Make It On My Own

I Make Tracks But They Only Lead To Pain
I Step Back And You Make Your Gain
But When Push Comes To Shove We're Going Nowhere

I Aim High But You Always Shoot Me Down
I Try To Fight But My Hands Are Bound




And The Words That I Have Kept Inside
Are Deepening This Great Divide
