Lyrics

[Verse 1]

They took my hands

Put iron on my wrists

Said I was the ghost

In somebody else’s fist

I stood in the room

And I heard them lie

One year in the dark

With my name on fire

First door shut hard

Then the second, too

I kept my head low

But the walls knew

[Pre-Chorus]

Day one, day ten

Same cold floor

Day one, day ten

I wanted more

[Chorus]

One year locked up

I paid for your crime

One year locked up

I lost my mind

Blood on the bricks

Bruises on skin

One year locked up

Let me out again (out again)

[Verse 2]

Steel tray dinners

Counting cracked tiles

Boots in the hallway

Running through trials

Some men pray loud

Some men plan war

Some men smile thin

Then come back for more

I learned quick

Keep your back to the wall

One missed look

And you might fall

[Pre-Chorus]

Day one, day ten

Names get crossed out

Day one, day ten

Truth gets shouted down

[Chorus]

One year locked up

I paid for your crime

One year locked up

I lost my mind

Blood on the bricks

Bruises on skin

One year locked up

Let me out again (out again)

[Bridge]

I wore the gray

Like a second skin

I watched good men

Turn sharp and thin

Fists in the shower

Chains in the air

A year like a grave

And nobody cared

[Breakdown]

Hear that door

Hear it slam

Hear my name

Now understand

I was there

I was chained

Still I walked out

Scarred and chained

[Final Chorus]

One year locked up

I paid for your crime

One year locked up

I buried my pride

Blood on the bricks

Bruises on skin

One year locked up

But I’m breathing again (breathing again)

[Outro]

No crown for the caught

No peace for the clean

I came out hardened

From a stolen dream
