Cornered
lyrics by Paul Dempsey
(v1)
No chance for flight
I know I have to fight
Suddenly I’m feeling calm
Like a ticking time bomb
Ready to explode
(v2)
My hair stands on end
I refuse to bend
I bear my teeth
Firm feet beneath
I’m at a crossroads
(chorus)
Cornered, I find myself cornered
I lash out with a stream of insults
To divert attention
Cornered, my back to the wall
I think that says it all
They’re coming with bad intentions
(v3)
Harsh words begin to flow
I take blow after blow
My backs against the wall
Yet I stand tall against it all
And I’m feeling strong
(bridge)
I shift and adjust my stance
Then begin to advance
Avoiding the fall
Answering the call
I’m righting a wrong
(chorus)
Cornered, I find myself cornered
I lash out with a stream of insults
To divert attention
Cornered, my back to the wall
I think that says it all
They’re coming with bad intentions
