Lyrics
Feel the chains 'round my wrists, hear the clock just tick
Judge's gavel fell, now my fate's locked in
Four walls my view, with time tickin' through
Memories in my head, that trigger I drew
[Verse]
Cuffed in the courtroom, life's script got torn
The life I took, leaves a heart so worn
Cell echoes silence, my choices I mourn
Time is my sentence, from dusk until dawn
In the clink echoes, my freedom's now gone
Concrete my pillow, no peace till I'm gone
Stripes on my jumpsuit, numbers my name
Guilt and regret, fuel to the flame
An innocent lost, I shoulder the blame
In the cell's shadow, play the remorse game
[Verse]
Visits behind glass, touch never felt
Letters and photos, the hand fate dealt
Thought I was tough, but inside I melt
Every cold night, the loneliness knelt
Life on the outside, a memory svelte
The weight of the gavel like thunder, it crashed
Judgment day sealed with the bars that they lashed
Spent nights counting stars that through barred windows flashed
Living with ghosts of a future that's trashed
[Verse]
Mirror’s reflection, a stranger's cold gaze
Walked a path darkened by crime's twisted maze
Inside this cage where time's stuck in a haze
Each tick of the clock, another dream decays
Life rewound in my mind, all those wasted days
Every whisper of freedom, just fuels my craze
Now penitence my anthem, behind all this steel
Remorse hits hard, this pain's all too real
Growin' old in a box, no chance for appeal
Markin' days on the wall, lost in this ordeal
[Verse]
Learning lessons too late, in the school of hard knocks
My future's this cell, defined by locks
Dreams of redemption, but reality mocks
Every minute's a battle with this paradox
[Hook]
Staring down my past, every sin I've owned
Changed by the years, by this sorrow I'm honed
I'm countin' the hours, survivin' the night
Feelin’ the weight of my sins in each fight
On the inside lookin’ out, no end in sight
Can't shake the cold, can't escape the plight
[Verse]
My cellmate's restless, whisperin' tales
Dreamin' of freedom, as hope slowly pales
The clink of the chains, each day we're scaled
Thrown in the deep end, where justice just fails
In the yard, solitude's my refrain
Push-ups and barbells, channeling the pain
