Slightly bruised and a little bit used
I never thought they'd be so amused
Brothers bond broken by the bailiff
For the first time
Prison proves, gotta pay my dues
Now I know I'll never be with you
If I, if I, if I die inside
Would anyone realize?
(No, God help me!)
If I, if I, if I die inside
Would anyone realize? (No)
I lived a lie
(Is anyone gonna realize)
Change in sights
I ain't gonna sleep tonight
This is no way for a man to live his life
Paranoid on the prisonyard pavement
For the first time
So I served time for my addiction
I pay the price for my affliction
A judge took my life with his conviction
For the last time
Lights out, lockdown
Don't make a sound
Lights out, lockdown
If I, if I, if I die inside
Would anyone realize?
(anyone realize?)
If I, if I, if I deny that crime
Would I, would I serve the time?
I live a lie.
Someone speak, I'm a drumset in my head
Something, a different beat
Beat myself to the sound of the walking dead
Rinse and repeat
Someone's beat on the drumset in my head
In my head, head
If I, if I, if I die
If I, if I, if I die inside
Would anyone realize?
(Would anyone realize?)
If I, if I, if I deny the crime
Would I, would I serve the time?
I live a lie.
