Shadows Behind Bars

Dark streets, shattered dreams, razors in the night

Two minds racing, the danger chasing, lost in the fight

Lit a match, ignited pain, it burned so cold

Two cracks in a mirror, stories left untold

We were broken, no solutions, just reckless flames

Caught in a game, spilled blood in the name of shame

Turning moments into memories grim

Fading echoes of a reckless whim

One night turned our worlds to ash

Futures stolen, in the flash, in the crash

Lives behind these barred windows, living in the past

Shadows of the chaos, trying to outlast

Broken souls behind these walls, fighting for the light

Lost in a darkness, searching for what’s right

You played your games, I broke the rules

Petty theft, fueled by fools

Until a gun changed everything

Held up at a gas station, a chilling scene

Frozen in time, I saw the gun

A innocent man, his life undone

Running from the night’s disgrace

Chasing freedom, losing grace

Lives behind these barred windows, living in the past

Shadows of the chaos, trying to outlast

Broken souls behind these walls, fighting for the light

Lost in a darkness, searching for what’s right

Twenty years, a lifetime away

Echoes of choices we made that day

Behind these iron bars, we remain

Hoping someday to heal the pain

Two broken souls, caught in the storm

Praying for a new dawn, reform

Behind these bars, what was lost, what’s gained?

Searching for redemption, enduring the pain
