Black Iron Prison - Hail Eris

[Verse 1] Hey, kid, welcome to prison But not the kind you're envisionin' It ain't no cell with walls of steel It's the one that's in your mind, it's for real Look around, see the bars of regret All the chances you missed, you can't forget Those hopes and dreams, they're out of reach You're trapped in your own self-made breach [Verse 2] Put your palms up to the Black Iron Feel the weight of every decision you've been tryin' The books you read, they're written on these bars Your adolescence, it's locked behind these scars Look up, see your CD collection in the sky But it's just a reminder of the days gone by The floor beneath your feet, that's your parents You were born to be here, it's apparent [Chorus] This is the Black Iron Prison you've created You thought you could be free, but you're sedated You wanted to be self-reliant, take control But now you're stuck in this claustrophobic hole The bars of your own existence, they surround you The only way out is to change what's inside you
