mommy and daddy had a lock and key. so she went over the wall and she was finally free. she wants to know "why did the tv tell those lies? it lied to me?". i said "i know, i know, i know. youve earned your right to breathe. dont give it up. thats why you have to leave. you know your number is up." emptied her pockets on an ugly road. why did nothing grow when the seeds were sown? and why did the water turn the soil into mud? big plans, fat chance, small winds. they took it all away and wont give it back. "now you have to stay." i-told-you-sos-attack. was it fate or dumb mistakes that made things like they are? and did she have a choice. ragged shoes on wet cement, she talking to the king. only the peasant hears her voice. its just noise. and when she hides her eyes shes sure that no one sees her standing by the garbage cans finally alone. and when she shuts her mouth shes sure that no one hears her screaming at all of those who say she cant go back to prison. cant see his face, only yellow teeth. chewing on his tongue splitting easy money. oh what an ugly man, he thinks hes beautiful. whats next, who knows, who cares? is it an even trade, her time, his cash? descisions being made while treasures turn to trash. and what is the value of a fine young mind when you just cant see what you left behind? and why did her parents lie. they lied and lied and lied and lied! they said "youll see whats right, youll see." but you can only see whats wrong from below whats right. will she be there for long? not without a fight. and when she hides her eyes shes in prison.
Help me find a reason
In my darkest time
To open up my heart
And survive
Help me gain my vision
As I stand here blind
Looking out for a place to be
helpless and free
where no one will recognize me
A prison inside myself
I look at you
I think I need your help
(i look at you? to get through?)
Can you find the reason
To put it down
But you love the poison
You found
And all that you've been using
To get you through
Soon you'll see
That it was using you
Standing in line
waiting for the shit
that they feed us
everyday
Afraid to think
for yourself
Afraid...
to be alive
Open your eyes, look to the world
Torture is real, that is no game
People were traced, send into a jail
The reason is just one mistake
Prisoned for many years
into a real hell
The future is killed
They get no help
No joy for their loney soul
No chance for remorse
The future's destroyed
Where's the freedom
PRISON - no way for the innocents
PRISON - no way for the unemployed
PRISON - no way for the homeless man
[Verse 1:]
I can still remember you telling me that I was the only one and that nobody had ever touched you...
Since the last time I caught you and we were critical. So, I moved on and you made me trust you again.
No, I take that back cause I never really trusted you. I just did what I had to do cause I loved you.
And remember whispers in my ear, telling me to have no fear... cause nobody else lives here.
But it was all a lie... all the time.
June...
[Chorus:]
Every since you told me I'mma tell you how it's been...
Don't talk to nobody not even my friends...
I can't sleep, and I don't even clean
I ain't had a good meal...
This how you make me feel when you're not here.
It's like you locked me up and threw away the key,
And everywhere I turn, it's like four walls are surrounding me...
And their moving in slowly.
I'm so lonely...
Feels like I'm in some kind of prison, and I wanna be free
So come back to me.
[Verse 2:]
Now I know this might sound hard to believe...
Cause I'm famous all up on MTV...
But you don't even know the half...
No I don't barely laugh...
All the girls surround me but I don't even know the last time I got some ass.
And it ain't cause I can't get it...
It's just that I don't want it.
Cause when I think about sex all I can think about is you moaning and some man fucking my name...
Tatted between your legs...
Imaged burned in my head...
And it's killing me baby...
It's driving me crazy
[Chorus:]
Every since you told me I'mma tell you how it's been...
Don't talk to nobody not even my friends...
I can't sleep, and I don't even clean
I ain't had a good meal...
This how you make me feel when you're not here.
It's like you locked me up and threw away the key,
And everywhere I turn, it's like four walls are surrounding me...
And their moving in slowly.
I'm so lonely...
Feels like I'm in some kind of prison, and I wanna be free
So come back to me.
[Bridge: x2]
You got me drinking...
You got me smoking...
You got me choking...
Do you see me crying...
Baby do you see me dying.
[Chorus:]
Every since you told me I'mma tell you how it's been...
Don't talk to nobody not even my friends...
I can't sleep, and I don't even clean
I ain't had a good meal...
This how you make me feel when you're not here.
It's like you locked me up and threw away the key,
And everywhere I turn, it's like four walls are surrounding me...
And their moving in slowly.
I'm so lonely...
Feels like I'm in some kind of prison, and I wanna be free
So come back to me.
Drinking, drinkin, drinkin...
Smoking, smoking, smoking...
Choking, choking, chockin...
Do you see me crying, baby do you hear me dying.
I'm locked up... u won't let me out.
You got me locked up... u won't let me out.
[Chorus:]
Every since you told me I'mma tell you how it's been...
Don't talk to nobody not even my friends...
I can't sleep, and I don't even clean
I ain't had a good meal...
This how you make me feel when you're not here.
It's like you locked me up and threw away the key,
And everywhere I turn, it's like four walls are surrounding me...
And their moving in slowly.
I'm so lonely...
Feels like I'm in some kind of prison, and I wanna be free
