The Great Escape

twisted, mangled

tattered, torn

i look at my life

wonder why i was born.

 

healing my wounds

fixing my soul

your face is filled

with a bullet hole

 

the chains i wear

are freeing me

the bars i sit in

do you finally agree?

 

no longer will i

have to back down

getting away from you

has made me sound
