Cold walls and bars form a cage in my mind, 8000 Lines scratched keep track of the time, I can't recall the warmth of the light, Or the colors and smell from the air outside, I tilt my head back and scream down the hall, But there's nobody there who will hear me at all I throw my fist against the bricks until there's blood on the walls, And pray for the day they all tremble and fall. And I count each breath, Incarcerated in my head, And my time counts down, Warden won't you please let me out. How long will I let this sentence drag on? I wish I could have back these days that have gone. If I could escape from my room full of black Would the world out there even welcome me back? I tilt my head back and scream down the hall, But there's nobody there who will hear me at all I throw my fist against the bricks until there's blood on the walls, And pray for the day they all tremble and fall. And I count each breath, Incarcerated in my head, And my time counts down, Warden won't you please let me out.
