Deadbolt

Two forms of isolation
But the pain remains the same
Drifting in the shadows reliving the mistakes

Concrete walls and hardened hearts the shackles remain
Bound by the chains
Longing to be free

On and on, it never ends, the dead bolt contains
Bound by the chains
Longing to be free

The woven razors bleeding dreams dry
A noose is made from a suit and tie
Chain links blurring, horizon distancing
Slowly fading, sedate until days end

Lost in life's design
Product of violence
Lost in life's design
A slave to vices

A sentence to die, a story with no plot
A blank page, and a body emptied out
Wasting behind the bars a slow decay

Distant reflections but not to the common eye
Both share a void, in their minds

One seeks their restitution
And the other an escape
Both held as a prisoner (prisoner)
But with a different landscape

Lost in life's design
Product of violence
Lost in life's design (design)
A slave to vices

Two forms of isolation
But the pain remains the same
Bound by the chains
Longing to be free

Will redemption find its way into the cell?
Will redemption pull the "free man" from his hell?
