Alcatraz

I've spent so much time
Imprisoned in my mind
Told to shut up and sit down
To close my eyes

I've realized what they've done to me
Trying numbing me from the pain of the world
It's everlasting, it'll never go away
It'll never change, not today

Even sheltered lives can't hide from not feeling alive
It's like throwing knives and my mind
It's like stabbing out my eyes
Stabbing out my eyes

I mean every word that I spit
It comes from the darkness of my mind
It comes from the pain inside
I feel it all the time

Nothing will ever change
You can't change the hatred that I feel
That's a power of mine and I've realized
I'm done decaying inside

I want to see better days
I want to see hope in things
I want to see a different way
To make the pain go away

I want to see better days
I want to see hope in things
I want to see a different way
To make the pain go away

I'm taking my life back, it's fucking mine
I'm taking my life back, it's mine
