Singing In Solitary

hey i won't get upset

now bee stings are all raw

burn these snakes cover my glare

and took my heart, claws

you're like a dirt burglar

traveling down death row

lone, lazy, due to give

blood from the cowboys

i'm done, this was never my intent

i can't give up on this

raging i would be

everything is turned

on its head in progress

i can't let them go

"but i gotta stand back, i gotta step away,

it's all swirling around in my mind... and i can't!"

give up on me

"time and time again, i can't see why i gotta be

what i don't want!"

as we cover all of this

of this facade

that i bleed

cuz we're broke

these snakes wrapped around my hands and feet

"and i turn, and i can't see straight,

and i can't see anything!"

i implore, open your mind little boy

for now i need everything

from the guard tower of hell

i need all of this open

i will work

i will walk
