~*~**~*~**~*~ LOCKED UP ~*~**~*~**~*~
We are born into a sinful world
full of lies and deceit
We have been taught the lack of love and compassion
for another human being
With our emotions stuffed down so far and deep
No wander our hearts are so hard to reach
As I look around all I see...
are four walls the bars and me
Release me now from this cage
I'm trapped inside here with all my rage
My body has now taken over...
My pain I feel no more
Now it's time to settle every unsettled score
I feel the numbness take me
I'M INVINCIBLE.... can't you tell?
So... pack your bags PECKERWOOD
our destination is straight to hell
I've been backed in a corner once or twice in my life
Taunted and tortured.. stripped of all of my rights
Numbers have now replaced the letters of my name
But they still have never heard me admit
remorse guilt or shame
Regardless the choices I've made for myself
I deserve to start my life over
with maybe a little help
Lord... Please place your hand in the middle of my back
Give me the Faith Wisdom and Courage to never want to go back!
