The Bars - Prong

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 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 lie

The lie

The lie

The lie

Lie

The jail

Behind my eyes!

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’ve waited

My hands

Are wrapped around

The Bars

I’m burning

My soul

Is pushed against

The Bars

The Bars

The lie

The lie

The lie

Lie

The lie

The prison

Behind my eyes!

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 lie

The lie

The lie

The lie

The lie

The prison

Behind my eyes!
