So this is how it feels at the rock bottom of despair When the house I built comes crashing down And this is how it feels when I know the man that I say I am Is not the man that I am when no one's around This is how it feels to come alive again And start fighting back to gain control And this is how it feels to let freedom in And break these chains that enslave my soul CHORUS: I refuse to be locked up in here like a prison cell Where all I ever get is a meal and four walls I used to be just fine in here but not anymore Gonna break through these steel bars So tell me how it feels when the tables start to turn And you find yourself at the losing end Tell me how it feels, you're not welcome here 'Cause I'm tired of pain and I'm tired of sin CHORUS I won't let you win I have no doubt I don't want you in So get out, get out CHORUS I refuse to be locked up in here like a prison cell Where all I ever get is a meal and four walls I used to be just fine in here but not anymore Gonna break through these steel bars
