[ trapped inside bars so thick.... ]

trapped inside bars so thick....
losing my only grip
to stay alive or slowly die
this happened to me but why oh why

trying to stay alive once again
forcing the words "dear God amen"
looking for an easy way out
panting and paving until I shout

this isn't quite the life for me
trapped inside my destiny
bars so thick I can't break loose
taking it slowly with pain induced

on the edge of going insane
can't take it....can't take this pain
forced to live inside this hell
I'll break free and break this cell

intoxicating lies held within
trapped inside a cell of sin
awaiting the moment in which to be freed
sitting still I slowly bleed

I look down and look in shame
I only have myself to blame
pain will hurt and cause you lies
but no one's there for my goodbyes

sit sadly still and close the gate
nothing's there but endless hate
shattered, broken, and slightly torn
sit around and mope and mourn

tell the others I won't be there
this is the way, this is what's fair
tampered hearts cannot be healed
and all the lies will be revealed

so, go on and trap me inside
I have no hope....no reason to hide
slowly I will die tonight
there's no reason for me to fight
