lyrics

Welcome to the prison
You can't see the walls
Are you an actual human being
Or just another stainless steel bar

I couldn't seem to find the floor
So it found me
And I pray this is as low as it gets
Someone call the governor
Would you pardon me
This sentence
Shackled with your regrets

Is this the house of primates
At the zoo
Check the reflection
You're an animal, too

The house of reptiles
Closed for repairs
Their spirits freed
To watch you and me
Counting beans and splitting hairs

Who chose this for us
Do they have no regrets
I got a bitter taste
In my mouth
From too many fucking cigarettes

Release me
Emancipate my soul
Release me
Release me
Before I grow too old
To live another way
Release me
But I can't promise to be good
As I once was
An innocent babe
That stumbled in your woods
No more

Do you know how lucky you seem to me
You've got a real talent
And a taste for
Stepping on everybody else's heads
You'll only really know
The sting of irony
When their broken skulls are littered all over your bed

So if I'm a good monkey
Will you fuck me
Must I pretend that I am bad
It is more my nature
To make love with you
But your judgment and derision
Have left me limp
And sad

Too bad

That’s why ya gotta...
Release me
Emancipate my soul
Release me
Release me
Before I grow too old
To live another way
Release me
But I can't promise to be good
As I once was
An innocent babe
That stumbled in your wood
No more
