I served jail time in 2020 alright!
Sleepless were the nights, stuck on to the lights.
My cellmates said Woof Woof, Meh Meh and Meow!
Locked behind bars that opened from the inside,
When the year started I had no idea I was in for this ride.
I served jail time in 2020 alright!
Prison really changes your life and habits,
In order to keep my food I had to become a beast.
My cellmates said Woof Woof, Meh Meh and Meow!
There were times we were allowed to get sunlight,
The confinement yet little freedom ended in a fight.
I served jail time in 2020 alright!
We grew a family bond concealed in a hole,
Our language barriers were broken and gone.
My cellmates said Woof Woof, Meh Meh and Meow!
An unsolicited world changing experience to bear,
To make the world great again was the word in the air.
I served jail time in 2020 alright!
My cellmates said Woof Woof, Meh Meh and Meow!

Team members must be made to understand what customers EXPECT
Leaders must emphasize the importance and reciprocity of RESPECT
Those who fail to respect others may not blossom even if a PROSPECT
Respect for rule of law: constituted authority, is another major ASPECT
Prison or cellmates must be respected by peers; especially a SUSPECT
Policies on staff interaction must be implemented, in RETROSPECT

Welcome to my sanctum here
The only place I can call home
A place I love to retreat to
Whenever I need to feel alone
Allow me to share why I am here
And not by you at all times
I have grown weary of this world
And all of humanity's crimes
Watch, my friend, and you will see
My nightmare is reality
Locked inside this world, a cage
And all my cellmates cause me rage
Behind the wall
I am me
Behind the wall
And that's all I can be
Trust me when I say this now
I'm not to be trusted here
My mind's a shell of what once was
No longer turning are these gears
Solitude is my drug
And reality is when I crash
I feel their gaze upon my back
And feel them burning me to ash
No more will I fight this fight
Propelling me through endless night
I've got this far all on my own
And I'd sooner die alone
Behind the wall
I am me
Behind the wall
That's all I'll ever be
Behind this wall
Take me, creeping death!
Moon is shining strong
Finally growing restless now
It seems it's all a game
One that can't be lost
Fear of moving on
Warmth inside the sweet embrace
That I now shall shun
No matter what the cost

Your voice reminds me why going deaf aint so bad.
And why the old men down at the park
slowley go mad.
It's filled with regret over what what never will be.
That house in the hills.
The fancy cars the side little pets and poolboys.
Fake plastic faces to match the the fake personality's
So now your voice fills with anger and a touch of
failure.
I here the rejection even in my sleep.
It stabs me in my spine.
Doing that which your own hatred does for you.
You look to me as a inmate and as paycheck
Were cellmates not lovers we torture
for weve forgot to love.
Your voice echos
to my grave.
saying you could at least taken out the trash befor you kicked the bucket
you lazy bum.
