Beyond those doors

Feet pounding against the pavement
Running to save my life
Toss the pipe as far as i can
From my hands drops a bloody knife

Every time I take a step
A new memory appears in my mind
Hoping these cops can't run
Right now I'm running blind

Go through that hedge
On the other side I see my boys from jail
Telling me I need to live
They are the wind in my sail

Climb that wall and I see
My ex crying on her knees
Wishing I had a future
Telling me about the moments I need to seize

I'm in the middle of the street
Sirens blaring in my ears
Red and blue lights flashing on my face
Reflecting off the tears

I can't run any more
I can hear the doors closing behind me
They read my rap sheet to me
Please sir don't remind me

Here I sit behind bars waiting
Jury hasn't made their verdict yet
Nine hundred out of ten
I'm going to lose this bet

The bailiff comes out
And tells me I'm free
This is the last time this happens
This isn't where I'm meant to be

Parents are finally here
I don't want to see my mom cry any more
I'm down this dark hall
And I know whats beyond that closed door

Time to make a change
Thats all I can ask for
I'm tired of looking at my family
From behind barred doors
