Life Sentence - Citizen Soldier

You’re the cell, you’re the cage\nYou’re my fight or flight\nYou’re the hole in my head\nWhere a child died\nYou’re the touch that makes trust\nFeel like suicide\nYou’re the ball, you’re the chain\nYou’re my sentence for life\nI’d tell the story but no one believes me\nYou keep denying it so no one sees me\nYou always lie just to keep control\nBecause the truths uncomfortable\nYou’re the memory that’s filling my prescriptions\nYou’re the shame that always shuts me up\nI need to numb and you’re the cause of the addiction\nYou’re the scar that taught me not to love\nYou’re the cell, you’re the cage\nYou’re my fight or flight\nYou’re the hole in my head\nWhere a child died\nYou’re the touch that makes trust\nFeel like suicide\nYou’re the ball, you’re the chain\nYou’re my sentence for life\nYou’re my, you’re my, you’re my\nSentence for life\nYou’re my, you’re my, you’re my\nSentence for life\nI would expose you but you always play the victim\nYou’d rather hide than pay the price for your decisions\nSo I will live with the consequence\nUntil they bury the evidence\nYou’re the insomnia at 4AM when I can’t breathe\nYou’re every trigger that I talk about in therapy\nYou’re in my brain, you’re the imbalance in my chemistry\nTaught me I’m never safe, not even with my family\n(So if I die, know I was murdered by my pedigree)\nYou’re the cell, you’re the cage\nYou’re my fight or flight\nYou’re the hole in my head\nWhere a child died\nYou’re the touch that makes trust\nFeel like suicide\nYou’re the ball, you’re the chain\nYou’re my sentence for life\nYou’re my, you’re my, you’re my\nSentence for life\nYou’re my, you’re my, you’re my\nSentence for life\nI’d tell the story but no one believes me\nYou keep denying it so no one will see me\nYou’ve always lied just to keep control\nBecause the truth’s uncomfortable\nYou’re the cell, you’re the cage\nYou’re my fight or flight (flight)\nYou’re the hole in my head\nWhere a child died (died)\nYou’re the touch that makes trust\nFeel like suicide\nYou’re the ball, you’re the chain\nYou’re my sentence for life\nYou’re my sentence for life
