There was a girl I knew She saw the prison inside She cursed her keeper And swore she'd get free Every time I see I got my hands wrapped around the bars I want out right now She led an angel's life On angel's wings Jumped out her apartment window And hit the street below Every time I see I got my hands wrapped around the bars I can't shut off my mind And now I've waited, my hands are wrapped around the bars I'm burning, my soul is pushed against the bars The bars, the lies, the lies, lies, lies Are trapped behind the bars My mind hates my body My body hates my soul I close my eyes and fight Inside my own black hole Every time I see I got my hands wrapped around the bars I want out right now! I've lived my life I'm doing my time I realize life's lie Every time I see I got my hands wrapped around the bars I can't shut off my mind And now I'm waiting, my hands are wrapped around the bars I'm burning, my soul is pushed against the bars The bars, the lies, the lies, lies, lies They're trapped behind my eyes
