Death Row Lyrics

I live in a vacuum, created by no one

Stepped inside, I was on my lonesome

At first it was grand, peaceful and calm

Let to my device no critiques from all

A freedom for oneself, a burden to none

Became self-reliant, the curse of a son

Cuz the longer you sit alone, the harder to quit

An addict you become, only way to live

I look around the void and I see no exit

I shrugged it off then, I'll get out when I feel it

What could go wrong, what's the harm of staying

There's no one around and I can just be lazy

And then I saw it, a hand in the mist

It reached out and it grabbed my wrist

But I pulled back, and my fingers slipped

Alone at last, opportunity missed

Filled with regret, not breaking away

Cuz I got cement shoes, kept my feet in place

Tried to break the chains wrapped around my waist

But now I realize that they're tied to my brain

Cuz I been, hiding away just counting the days

Watching 'em, pile and fade in a mountainous grave

But I'm on, trial today for the ground I laid

Watch the, clouds of grey overcast their shade

Am I too far gone, is it way to late

The shield I propped up has tripled in weight

But I'll, get it moved till my arms have popped off

And shout into the void at the risk to get lock-jaw

I'm done with the self pity and in for the long haul

I'll write into the night until the minute that dawn calls

I'll work my chess board till miniature pawn falls

And try to break out from this infamous drawn walls
