Oh, you trapped my soul Locked it in the jailhouse I came here a man out of time Today a parasite Clinging onto the walls Wrapped around the bars Stone walls are my friend Prisoners are my family Orange jumpsuits for a uniform Carving the lines into the granite What time is my parol? Tastebuds conform to the slop No one believes my cries This verdict isn’t mine I never did the crime I must have been framed like a picture Tricked by the trickster My lawyer was in on the plot Helped no one but himself Oh, you trapped my soul When will the day come Where I leave behind these walls? Somedays I think This is where I belong.

Oh, you trapped my soul Locked it in the jailhouse I came here a man out of time Today a parasite Clinging onto the walls Wrapped around the bars Stone walls are my friend Prisoners are my family Orange jumpsuits for a uniform Carving the lines into the granite What time is my parol? Tastebuds conform to the slop No one believes my cries This verdict isn’t mine I never did the crime I must have been framed like a picture Tricked by the trickster My lawyer was in on the plot Helped no one but himself Oh, you trapped my soul When will the day come Where I leave behind these walls? Somedays I think This is where I belong.
