alsely accused for hiding guns,
thrown in the hole, the torture has begun
guards they laugh and say "soon you will tell
the b***** straitjacket is your living hell"
wrapped so tight feel I'm buried alive
stabbing pains, growing numbness inside
bodily secretions burn away my skin
all hope is leaving, despair rushes in
I will escape from pain
Dragged from my cell for the second time,
I beg for mercy I've done no crime
they just laugh as they drag me away,
it's now or never, my judgement day
I can't tell them what they want to know,
so back in the jacket is where I go
fighting the pain I look to the sky �
please god help me � I don't want to die!
I will escape from pain
My body twitches, I wait for death
the pain, how it has grown
stretching out to infinity, it's all I've ever known
then through the pain I feel a change I've never felt before
total peace flows through my soul
my mind it starts to soar
As I rise up, I turn and look down
I see my body sprawled there on the ground
freed from anguish, gone is my despair
it doesn't matter now what goes on down there
I have broken from the chains that bind
they cannot touch me now
I leave their world behind
Years have passed and I'm a free man,
but I can't forget what happened back then
strapped in the jacket again and again,
one on top another, they tried to do me in
but I always would escape
they finally gave up, my will they couldn't break
granted a pardon after seven years, but only time will dry my tears
