Animals
[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]
Questions of my actions cloud my mind
Must've drank too much, my mouth feels awfully dry
I push up slow to find myself a drink
I see a [?]
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 3]
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
[Chorus 2]
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
