jailbreak

let me tell you about loneliness
let me tell you about chance
let me tell you about choices
and how we use to love to dance
there once was a time when all i did was drink
i know that may sound like pride, but it's not
and i never did smoke cigarettes, but i still stood on the brink
i'd lean right over the edge half hoping to fall right in
and if death ever came close at least it wouldn't sneak upon me
he said why doesn't anyone even try to understand
as if what we were doing was grand
i always answered what does it matter anyway
well he thought about my words
and then turned his back on the world
he drinks like a motherfucker and i stopped keeping score
of the nights he blacked out and the mops
that i wrung out cleaning up his mess and i
have long since put all those demons to rest
after one too many black eyes i learnt to walk on eggshells
until the dealing all became too much
when i made the effort to leave i was found just in time
now i'm sure i'll outlive them all
but there's no more dancing through the posies
just cut feet from shattered glass against the wallpaper
and spilt wine soaking into the rugs
but veins still get opened and someone's life gets released
while i'm down on my knees screaming to a God i don't believe in
cause bleeding out my life's just not getting it done
and it's no surprise that He doesn't answer
the broken heart that beats beneath my breast
sounds like my footsteps trying to run away and
i know that i can never turn my back on him
so much dependence has become my jailer and
i guess he's become one bad habit i can never break.

timing is everything
timing is all
someone always gets hurt
it can't ever be helped
trapped by consequence
and broken desire
you hold my heart in your hand
and give it a squeeze

timing is everything
timing is all
so fuck you baby
cause i won't be around
to hear you say you were wrong
that you'd made a mistake
you weren't listening before
and now it's too late.

There was a friend of mine on murder
And the judge's gavel fell
Jury found him guilty
Gave him sixteen years in hell
He said "I ain't spending my life here
I ain't living alone
Ain't breaking no rocks on the chain gang
I'm breakin' out and headin' home

Gonna make a jailbreak
And I'm lookin' towards the sky
I'm gonna make a jailbreak
Oh, how I wish that I could fly

All in the name of liberty
All in the name of liberty
Got to be free

Jailbreak, let me out of here
Jailbreak, sixteen years
Jailbreak, had more than I can take
Jailbreak, yeah"

He said he'd seen his lady being fooled with
By another man
She was down and he was up
He had a gun in his hand
Bullets started flying everywhere
And people started to scream
Big man lying on the ground
With a hole in his body
Where his life had been
But it was -

All in the name of liberty
All in the name of liberty
I got to be free

Jailbreak, jailbreak
I got to break out
Out of here

Heartbeats they were racin'
Freedom he was chasin'
Spotlights, sirens, rifles firing
But he made it out
With a bullet in his back
