Prison Break ft. BoneZ Lyrics

I don't think that's too much to ask

I don't think you oughtta be doin' this to yourself, Andy

This is a shitty pipe dreams

Mexico is way down there and you're in here

And that's the way it is

Yeah, right, that's the way it is

It's down there and I'm in here

I guess it comes down to a simple choice really

Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'

Ring in the morn. With sleep I'm reborn

In a bitch of a sitch. I'm rich but feel worn

Look for signs from divine, I pine for peak form

But heaven's messages sent been dense like CBOR

So I get up and shower, sour from all the hours

Devoured by a job that robs my vital power

A coward as a teen. People pleased to extremes

Surrendered dreams to be someone society deems

a success. I confess I possess some mad green

But never rest, under stress, I assess the caffeine

I ingest in excess. It's a mess: a sad scene

With regrets from a quest to impress my dad's queen

She claimed art's a painful strain to fight squalor

I was praised for my brain, named a bright scholar

And though I'm trained in a trade that rakes in my dollars

I'm too based to embrace chain gangs with white collars

Time to escape. I ain't resigned to my cell

Should be painless to break cause I designed it myself

These vapid habits of mind confine and bind me to hell

So I'ma eye the horizon, try to line up a swell

And catch a wave to shore. I'll be makin' sure

I gotta strong foundation 'fore I lay the floor

Cause if we burn out, ain't a way of stayin' warm

So crack the gas can, spray it, and the flames'll roar

Keags

Why do we leave our dreams in cages we create

(Cages we create)

And of ourselves be just a fraction

(Just a fraction)

They'll try to tell you stay inside where you'll be safe

But the comfort they're advisin's a distraction

(It's time to make our prison break)

Ooooohhhhh

(Prison break)

Ooooohhhhh

It's time to make our prison break

(This is a god damn prison break)

They'll try to tell you stay inside where you'll be safe

But the comfort they're advisin's a distraction

(This is a god damn prison...)

I gave up more than pain I had to endure

To be the model of a person that I came to abhor

An empty fragile husk without a meaningful core

A heartless cold machine just trying not to be bored

I couldn't keep up with everything I needed to

(I needed to)

Could show me all I needed was the freedom to

(Not heed unto)

The teachings of the people that would misconstrue

(Hide the truth)

Compliance isn't something to aspire to

I had so many people who believed in me

(But was it me?)

Or was it who they thought that I could someday be

(A fallacy)

Potential's just a word for someone else's dreams

(A fantasy)

To make you to a vessel of propriety

Why can't you just do what you've been asked

Why can't you just stay focused on the task

Just buckle down and get it done. Make it snappy

I burned my life force to make 'em happy

In that moment I discovered that a fire burned within me

I don't care what people think. I will not live to serve society

I'm tearin' at my cage without a morsel of anxiety

I will not let it be and no I won't give in quietly

I'll keep doubling down. I'll keep raising the stakes

I'll keep fightin' to breathe even in the vacuum of space

All the oceans on the planet couldn't make me drown

Cause I'ma keep swimmin' 'til I'm all worn down

To BoneZ

Why do we leave our dreams in cages we create

(Cages we create)

And of ourselves be just a fraction

(Just a fraction)

They'll try to tell you stay inside where you'll be safe

But the comfort they're advisin's a distraction

(It's time to make our prison break)

Ooooohhhhh

(Prison break)

Ooooohhhhh

It's time to make our prison break

(This is a god damn prison break)

They'll try to tell you stay inside where you'll be safe

But the comfort they're advisin's a distraction

(This is a god damn prison...)

Pleased to meet you I'm Keags. Whatchu locked up for

Name's BoneZ. Was thrown in here for not much more

Than the mistake of taking counsel which would rot my core

When they pointed out path I fuckin' walked in the door

Shit, man. My story's kinda the same.

They convinced me I'd fail unless I always obeyed

So I proceeded down the path paved back in the day

Cause I wasn't stubborn enough to double down and create

A solid vision of my future which was fueled by desire

And conviction in your truth so you refuse to retire

Cause if I lose inspiration than my youth'll expire

And if you bend to temptation that's what loses the Shire

You can call me a liar but I found a way out

I'ma guess you kept chippin' through the cripplin' doubt

And the walls are a little bit more brittle when proud

Of the person you've become. Come, I'll show you the route

Why do we leave our dreams in cages we create

(Cages we create)

And of ourselves be just a fraction

(Just a fraction)

They'll try to tell you stay inside where you'll be safe

But the comfort they're advisin's a distraction

(It's time to make our prison break)

Ooooohhhhh

(Prison break)

Ooooohhhhh

It's time to make our prison break

(This is a god damn prison break)

They'll try to tell you stay inside where you'll be safe

But the comfort they're advisin's a distraction

(This is a god damn prison...)
