There was a girl I knew

She saw the prison inside

She cursed her keeper

And swore she'd get free

Every time I see

I got my hands wrapped around the bars

I want out right now

She led an angel's life

On angel's wings

Jumped out her apartment window

And hit the street below

Every time I see

I got my hands wrapped around the bars

I can't shut off my mind

And now I've waited, my hands are wrapped around the bars

I'm burning, my soul is pushed against the bars

The bars, the lies, the lies, lies, lies

Are trapped behind my eyes

My mind hates my body

My body hates my soul

I close my eyes and fight

Inside my own black hole

Every time I see

I got my hands wrapped around the bars

I want out right now!

I've lived my life

I'm doing my time

I realize life's lie

Every time I see

I got my hands wrapped around the bars

I can't shut off my mind

And now I'm waiting, my hands are wrapped around the bars

I'm burning, my soul is pushed against the bars

The bars, the lies, the lies, lies, lies

They're trapped behind my eyes
