My mind is a prison with many metal bars
I try to run from it, but I can't leave the scars
My memory is the warden that presides
Over my sentence, while I try to hide
Love wont leave me alone anymore
Why can't I leave, give it what for
I fall in love with the girls that are taken
And now the electric chair, my brain is bakin'
My mind is dead, but my body is still breathing
I can still see, but I've lost all feeling
I feel like crying, I'm always dying
You think you know me, but I've been lying
Every morning I get up and wonder why
Every night I lay down, and start to cry
My exterior shell hides the fangs
Hides the emptiness, hides the pain
Part 2
Love threw the switch and killed me again
I guess I deserve it, I tried to hide my sins
Lust and love, and my selfish game
I never knew I'd loose before I gained
Lost the love of my life tonight
I've decided to give up that fight
He's won you and I lost it all
Off this ledge of love, I start to fall
Again I stand here, in this cell
Again I stand here, rotting in hell
The warden throws the switch another time
I'm dead again, I fell out of line
Part 3
I'm here again, another girl, another bar
I'm feeling good, as she starts to get in the car
I start to realize I'm living the same scene
As I see her boyfriend and she starts to scream
Rape they called it, even though I never touched
Her thigh they called it, even though it was the clutch
Now I sit in this cell again, only this is real
Now I really do have something to fear
They beat me something fierce
But their clubs can't peirce
The truth in my mind
It doesn't matter this time
Part 4
Arraignment is followed by lies
I rot in this cell, like a wingless fly
They give me food, and a guy names Steve
All the while, my mind still imagining my Eve
Six years I rot in this damn cell
Six years is a long time to spend in hell
Hell can take a toll on one's mind
Afterwards sanity is hard to find
Forever meant to spin an endless web
Hundreds of strange turns in this life I've led
