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 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
