The Lock Down Denial

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's behind the drumset in my head
Something, a different beat
Beat myself to the sound of the walking dead
Rinse and repeat
Someone's behind 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.
