The Lock Down Denial Lyrics
Slightly bruised and a little bit used
I never thought they'd be so amused
Brothers bond broken by the bailiff
For the first time
Prison proves I gotta pay my dues
Now I know I'll never be with you
If I, if I, if I die inside
Would anyone realize?
(No; God help me)
If I, if I, if I die inside
Would anyone realize?
(No)
I lived a lie
(Is anyone gonna realize?)
Change in sights
I ain't gonna sleep tonight
This is no way for a man to live his life
Paranoid on the prison yard pavement
For the first time
So I served time for my addiction
I pay the price for my affliction
A judge took my life with his conviction
For the last time
Lights out, lockdown
Don't make a sound
Lights out, lockdown
If I, if I, if I die inside
Would anyone realize?
(Would anyone realize?)
If I, if I deny that crime
Would I, would I serve the time?
I live a lie
Someone's beating
On the drumset in my head
Something, a different beat
Beat myself to the sound
Of the walking dead
Rinse and repeat
Someone's beating
On the drumset in my head
In my head, head
If I, if I, if I die, yeah
If I, if I, if I die inside
Would anyone realize?
(Would anyone realize?)
If I, if I deny the crime
Would I, would I serve the time?
I live a lie
I never thought they'd be so amused
Brothers bond broken by the bailiff
For the first time
Now I know I'll never be with you
Would anyone realize?
(No; God help me)
If I, if I, if I die inside
Would anyone realize?
(No)
I lived a lie
(Is anyone gonna realize?)
I ain't gonna sleep tonight
This is no way for a man to live his life
Paranoid on the prison yard pavement
For the first time
I pay the price for my affliction
A judge took my life with his conviction
For the last time
Don't make a sound
Lights out, lockdown
Would anyone realize?
(Would anyone realize?)
If I, if I deny that crime
Would I, would I serve the time?
I live a lie
On the drumset in my head
Something, a different beat
Beat myself to the sound
Of the walking dead
Rinse and repeat
Someone's beating
On the drumset in my head
In my head, head
Would anyone realize?
(Would anyone realize?)
If I, if I deny the crime
Would I, would I serve the time?
I live a lie

I think it's a big song about if you "get away" with something - say, stealing something from a store, do you really get away with it? Not only a crime, but something you simply shouldn't do for moral's sake, like breaking someone's heart or having a one-night stand. Even though you "get away" with it, like, no one finds out you stole the item or the one-night stand it forgotten, you didn't really, because YOU will always remember. You try to deny it to yourself, but really, you're "locked down" by your own guilty conscience. As for the addiction part, addiction is a very broad word. "Addiction" could be to a substance, sure, but it could also being an addiction to an emotion or feeling, like sexual satisfaction. Some people even get addicted to the high they get from stealing something. He could feel trapped by his own addictions, and thus though he may "pay the price for my affliction", he can't escape it in his own mind. And again, the prison doesn't have to be an ACTUAL prison. People say "I'm a prisoner in my own house" and stuff like that, and I think that's the kind of prison he's talking about.
prison proves* gotta pay my dues
a judge* took my life with his conviction
who is this about? i dont know much about ciwwaf but this is a surprising song to say the least.
Great song, this entire album has amazing written all over it. Very compelling lyrics. i feel Its about someone with an addiction, whose problem landed them in the pen. They're not the criminal type yet their record will now speak otherwise. just an idea. Love this song and, well, all the others as well.
someone's behind the drum* set in my head
Prison proves I gotta pay my dues Now I know I'll never be with you
it's refused, not with you.
fucking amazingggggggg song.
I just wanted to fix some of the lyrics. I have the cd so I'm positive these are correct.
Prison proves I gotta pay my dues Now I know I'll never be with you
this is what is says. it should say.
Prison proves I gotta pay my dues Now I know I'll never be refused.
Not a big difference. I just thought people would like to know.
It should be "chains and stripes, i aint gonna sleep tonight"
And "someones behind the drumset in my head"
This song is soooo good
Okay so this song is deff about addiction!
He's addicted to somthing that can put him in jail or could possibly kill him and he's asking if he dies is anyone gonna realize
