The bars that hold him back
They’re like a cold metal trap
Back and forth, pacing by the door
He can’t get out until he’s told
Shouting for his soul
Cause there’s no one to hold
Breathing hard cause the air’s so cold
No one to care, no one to hold
Screaming for his life cause it’s all he’s got
Praying to undo the shot
Blood rushing through his brain
The moment of sudden pain
One life lost another in hiding
He didn’t wanna come out fighting
The cars came right by his door
He stayed so still, for his life would be gone
Shouts for his hands to go up
For him to slowly walk on out
His life would be taken away
Cause he had nothing to say
The bars that hold him back
They’re like a cold metal trap
Back and forth, pacing by the door
He can’t get out until he’s told
Shouting for his soul
