|
Prison |
Is a place where you hate |
so much your teeth nash |
together so hard they hurt. |
|
Where pain, suffering, misery |
is linked with lies, hate, agony |
meshed together so fine they |
enshroud your whole existence. |
|
Despair becomes your best friend |
and Hope becomes your worst enemy. |
Every line is drawn in three colors. |
Black, white, red. |
|
Everywhere you turn you're surrounded |
by concrete, steel, razor wire that |
just seems to sap every fiber |
of your strength and being. |
|
They say they can lock up your body, |
but not your mind. But we know this too |
is a falsehood. For we know, we quit dreaming |
of the line, a long time ago. Our once |
vibrant technicolor dreams |
are now only in black and white containing |
nothing but prison landscapes. We do more |
than live here. We live out lives here. Grow old, |
ugly and cold even if it's only on the inside. |
|
We always keep our facades up, |
(Nothing Matters) |
more often than not, things matter too much |
but we continue to try to fool ourselves; |
so we can survive, cause if nothing else- |
we are survivors? |
|
Prison is just one more Government (Project) |
full of Poor, Destitute, and Under priveleged. |
|
One thing for certain, once you're in the system, |
the system keeps you in. |
And what of Justice you say? |
WELL, Justice has nothing to do with it. |
