"Let Me Out" lyrics

"Let Me Out"

12 years old I killed a boy
To become a man
16 the street is all I've known
Since I can't remember when

Can I find peace
In this hell I'm in
Can I find peace
In this hell I'm in

18 to life my momma cried
When they threw me in the pen
My father said you ain't my son
Don't you ever come round again

Can I find peace
In this hell I'm in
Can I find peace
From this hell I'm

Breaking down the walls around me
It feels like it's never-ending
I did my time
I gave my life
Why won't you let me out let me out
Let me out let me out

God has long forgotten me
My concrete colored path
A view through bars at withered dreams
Are all I'll ever have

Can I find peace
From this hell I'm in
Can I find peace

Breaking down the walls around me
It feels like it's never-ending
I did my time
I gave my life
Why won't you let me out let me out
Let me out let me out

All I need is one
A day with chains undone
To feel the wind and run
To feel the warmth of the sun

Breaking down the walls around me
It feels like it's never-ending
I did my time
I gave my life
Why won't you let me out let me out
Let me out let me out
Let me out let me out
Let me out let me out
