Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A violent man mumbled, "There's animals in this cage"
Half-asleep, concrete stuck to my face
I push up and I slowly crack my eyes
Look just like it smelled, not to my surprise
[Chorus]
Surrounded by strangers
In this room without windows
Barefoot and freezin'
Dressed in faded old orange clothes
[Verse 2]
The questions of my actions cloud my mind
Must've drank too much, my mouth feels awfully dry
I push up slow enough to find myself a drink
I see a spout up top, but that's all to see
[Verse 3]
And hours upon hours of mindless talk
Eighteen straight of crime, was none their fault
I chip away the paint on the western wall
I take my time to spell "God, please save us all"
[Chorus]
Surrounded by strangers
In this room without windows
Barefoot and freezin'
Dressed in faded old orange clothes
Faded old orange clothes
[Verse 4]
Then a sudden strange and loud buzzer, it sounds
"You sir, and only you, sir, please step out"
Fear, it floods my veins as I walk out slow
"Your bail's been posted, son, you're free to go"
[Outro]
You can smell the fresh air blowin'
The sky never looked like that
Blue and full of my future, I ain't ever goin' back
I ain't ever goin' back
