lyrics

My Living Cell

I’ve been in here for almost 20 years
Counting down the days, and counting all the tears
But this cell I’m in is all I’ve really known
And I’ve almost forgotten where I call my home

These bars and chains they try and shackle me
Sometimes I think I’ll never be set free
But the coldness that you see within my eyes
I’m gonna leave in here, once I can step outside

Lord free me from this lonely prison cell
Help me escape my own made living hell
Would You guide me in the dark tonight
Cause I’m running for my life
And if those shots ring out I’m ready to die

So I’m planning my escape from all this pain
I’ve got nothing to lose, and everything to gain
And I don’t know if I’ll make it out alive
But living in here just aint no kind of life

Lord free me from this lonely prison cell
Help me escape my own made living hell
Would You guide me in the dark tonight
Cause I’m running for my life
And if those shots ring out I’m ready to die

When they come around to count the cells tonight
I’ll be hiding in the shadows with my homemade knife
And if the sirens go, I swear I wont look back
If I make it past that wall I’ll be gone fast

Lord free me from this lonely prison cell
Help me escape my own made living hell
Would You guide me in the dark tonight
Cause I’m running for my life
And if those shots ring out I’m ready to die
If I don’t make it out, I’ve already died
