Animals

(album: Borrowed Time - 2017)

A violent man mumbled "there's animals in this cage"
Half-asleep, concrete stuck to my face
I push up and I slowly crack my eyes
Look just like it smelled, not to my surprise

Surrounded by strangers
In this room without windows
Barefoot and freezing
Dressed in faded old orange clothes

Questions of my actions cloud my mind
Must've drank too much, my mouth feels awfully dry
I push up slow to find myself a drink
I see a [?]

Hours upon hours of mindless talk
Eighteen straight of crime, was none their fault
I chip away the paint on the western wall
I take my time to spell "God please save us all"

Surrounded by strangers
In this room without windows
Barefoot and freezing
Dressed in faded old orange clothes
Faded old orange clothes

Then a sudden strange and loud buzzer it sounds
You sir, and only you sir please step out
Fear it floods my veins as I walk out slow
Your bail's been posted, son you're free to go

You can smell the fresh air blowing
The sky never looked like that
Blue and full of my future I ain't ever going back
I ain't ever going back
