Four Walls

So when the saints go marching in

They won't be singing for your sins

They just hope to hell you've learnt something

Living and breathing

Everybody dies with a debt

No silence, watching death is how we live

Take it or leave it

Don't waste your breath

I clear my mind, deny real life, define "here"

Without borders, possessions or enemies

Everybody dies with a debt

We all die for a life that we fear we will only forget

Or confess to a God that we know we only hear in ourselves

Bottle it up, let your problems distill

Forget your dreams or fulfill them

Leave no trace, waste away

It's time for change

So when the saints go marching in

They won't be singing for your sins

They just hope to hell you've learnt something

Living and breathing

Four walls in this prison

But I can still see the river

Four walls in this prison

Lies to poison your decisions in life, take note

(Now you tell me why you're living a lie)

Don't ignore it, now you know

I saved my soul

I sold it to the open road

I found hope in the wreckage of progress

Trophies shattered and stained

("Do what you're told")

There's a mold to be broken

A light burning over your name

(And I saved my soul)

But I never said I wasn't the culprit

Never said I wasn't deceived

(I saved my soul)

Just trying to rewrite the wrongs

That were written on me

(I saved my soul)

Everybody dies with a debt

We all die for a life that we fear we will only forget

(I saved my soul)

Or confess to a God that we know we only hear in ourselves

So when the saints go marching in

They won't be singing for your sins

They just hope to hell you've learnt something

Living and breathing
