A cage to far from home

by dion   Jun 5, 2007


Locked in a small room with no doors out
people all around but they cant hear me shout
a place for me to watch me die everyday
no matter how i try i just cant get away

no matter were i look its only black
what i would do just to have my life back
130 bars, a toilet and a bed
180 days to rot inside my head

this isn't a place id like to call home
i wouldn't even feel comfortable saying I'm alone
I'm in a cage, its too close to hell
this isn't a story that i can tell

this place isn't for me, its not meant to be
id love for someone to find the criminal in me
were did i go wrong, and who did i hurt
i see people walking in with blood stains on there shirt

what does my pops think, and how about my mom
what should my excuse be for the reason Ive been gone
and what about the kids, what lie should i give
knowing that there dad never had a reason to live

I'm lost in a nightmare and i don't know were to go
I'm in a car lost in the desert, and my tank is on low
my future has no future, cause the days will just repeat
cause i can do here is work eat and sleep.

so when can i wake up, open my eyes, and assume
it was a nightmare, and find myself back in my room
buts its not so all i can do is admit defeat
tomorrow its back to work, eat, and sleep
