8000 Lines Songtext
von Blacktop Mojo

Cold walls and bars form a cage in my mind,
8000 Lines scratched keep track of the time,
I can't recall the warmth of the light,
Or the colors and smell from the air outside,
I tilt my head back and scream down the hall,
But there's nobody there who will hear me at all
I throw my fist against the bricks until there's blood on the walls,
And pray for the day they all tremble and fall.


And I count each breath,
Incarcerated in my head,
And my time counts down,
Warden won't you please let me out.

How long will I let this sentence drag on?
I wish I could have back these days that have gone.
If I could escape from my room full of black
Would the world out there even welcome me back?
I tilt my head back and scream down the hall,
But there's nobody there who will hear me at all
I throw my fist against the bricks until there's blood on the walls,
And pray for the day they all tremble and fall.


And I count each breath,
Incarcerated in my head,
And my time counts down,
Warden won't you please let me out.
