Locked Away

To all of those who have done any form of time you know what I am saying.

[Verse]
In the shadows no moon or sun
Locked in chains nowhere to run
Bad food just to keep us weak
Isolation makes you numb and bleak

[Verse 2]
Death row cells so cold so bare
Expensive calls no one to care
Commissary prices through the roof
Living proof no justice in the booth

[Chorus]
Locked away doing hard time
No light no trust in this grime
Stripped naked with shanks and blades
Defend yourself in a night that fades

[Verse 3]
People dying every day it seems
Drugs thriving feeding dark dreams
Nights are long no peace no rest
Surviving here feels like a test

[Bridge]
No one cares we're left behind
Prison life stripped out of mind
Silent screams in the dark of night
Holding on to a flickering light

[Verse 4]
Hope is gone not much to see
Life inside no liberty
Walls so high they scrape the sky
Locked away just live or die
