Black Flag

The Bars Lyrics



There was a girl I knew

She saw the prison inside

She cursed her keeper

And swore she'd get free



Every time I see

I got my hands

Wrapped around

The Bars



I want out

Right now



She led an angel's life

On angel wings

Jumped out her

Apartment window

And hit the street below



Every time I see

I got my hands

Wrapped around

The Bars



I can't shut off

My mind



And now

I've waited,

My hands

Are wrapped around

The Bars



I'm burning,

My soul

Is pushed against

The Bars



The Bars

The lie

The lie

The lie

The lie

Lie



The jail

Behind my eyes!



My mind hates my body

My body hates my soul

I close my eyes and fight

Inside my own black hole



Every time I see

I got my hands

Wrapped around

The Bars



I want out

Right now





I've lived my life

I'm doing my time

I realize

Life’s lie



Every time I see

I got my hands

Wrapped around

The Bars



I can't shut off

My mind



And now

I've waited,

My hands

Are wrapped around

The Bars



I'm burning,

My soul

Is pushed against

The Bars



The Bars

The lie

The lie

The lie

Lie

The lie



The prison

Behind my eyes!



Every time I see

I got my hands

Wrapped around

The Bars



I can't shut off

My mind



And now

I've waited,

My hands

Are wrapped around

The Bars



I'm burning,

My soul

Is pushed against

The Bars



The Bars

The lie

The lie

The lie

The lie

The lie



The prison

Behind my eyes!
