Living

They say prison is a bad place to be From what I see Must be easier than life here outside The pain we hide Life out here Lot of fear They get locked up cause they can't handle real life Need the controlled strife Things we face trying to survive As they do in their prison hive But they have gaurds to watch their back If someone does attack A dinning hall to eat a bed to sleep Hearts out here weep As in there Same as here Life is fear They get everything they need We bleed The criminals have it made We don't make the grade We have to fight to get by Sometimes we cry Wish to fly Life out here Living in fear Worse than prison inside Where our souls we hide Must confide Most horrible place I find Within the shattered mind Trying to survive in this twisted world I live My soul and the pain love does give Guess we are in prison as well Far as I can tell Nothing is free Fight to be A part of this world we see
