Living
They say prison is a bad place to be
From what I see
Must be easier than life here outside
The pain we hide
Life out here
Lot of fear
They get locked up cause they can't handle real life
Need the controlled strife
Things we face trying to survive
As they do in their prison hive
But they have gaurds to watch their back
If someone does attack
A dinning hall to eat a bed to sleep
Hearts out here weep
As in there
Same as here
Life is fear
They get everything they need
We bleed
The criminals have it made
We don't make the grade
We have to fight to get by
Sometimes we cry
Wish to fly
Life out here
Living in fear
Worse than prison inside
Where our souls we hide
Must confide
Most horrible place I find
Within the shattered mind
Trying to survive in this twisted world I live
My soul and the pain love does give
Guess we are in prison as well
Far as I can tell
Nothing is free
Fight to be
A part of this world we see
