Lyrics:
In the blue of the evening, when the sun is low There's a shadow that creeps across my cellblock floor And it comes to remind me what I'm in here for No, I'm not admitting that I done the crime I'm only getting down to doing time The passing of days is no concern of mine
There's a guard on the second shift, comes on at three And he's always about a half inch off of me Like he needs to keep reminding me that I'm not free God forgive him 'cause he doesn't see He's no less a prisoner 'cause he holds a key And God forbid he turn his back on me
For every wall you build around your fear A thousand darker things are born in here They're fed on contempt for all that you hold dear The truth is it doesn't matter what you do Till you gaze in that mirror with an eye that's true And admit that what scares you is the me in you
