Every day I tally my days in this jail cell Counting the days I’ve been in this solitude Counting the days ‘til I’ll be set free I’ve been seeing angels on the walls and devils in my brains
Counting the days I’ve been in this solitude I’ve counted my fingers so many times it’s no longer ten I’ve been seeing devils on the walls and angels in my brains And the flowers I’ve planted grow from this concrete flooring
I’ve counted my fingers so many times it’s no longer eleven But the guards lost my key; and the only escape Are the flowers that grow from this concrete flooring So I drown them in the thoughts I see.
The guards lost my key, and my only escape Is lost in my insanity. And I drown myself in the thoughts I see Still wondering when I’ll be set free
I’m lost in this insanity Counting the days I’ve been in this solitude Still wondering when I’ll be set free And tallying my days I’ve spent in this jail cell.
