The Workday Release - 25 Ago lyrics

{verse 1} I grew up here inside these walls They'll never let me free 'cause once when i was three days past eighteen I took a life that threatened me That was twenty-five ago But they say i'm still the same Second chances should be left to god And i only have myself to blame {pre-chorus} And i can't forget that night It'll be at my side 'til the day i die {chorus} I've owned up the best i can God knows i'm a better man Than the reckless kid that walked in twenty-five ago And i don't know another life I grew up here on the inside And i cannot wait to stretch my legs when my father calls And i walk out of this place {verse 2} I grew up here inside these walls They say i'll never leave You're a killer and forever To the world that's all you'll be That was twenty-five ago But the cold here keeps it fresh Every sin between these metal bars Is a stale and static mess {pre-chorus} All that i can do is close my eyes Hold fast to my mind and the distant light {chorus} I've owned up the best i can God knows i'm a better man Than the reckless kid that walked in twenty-five ago And i don't know another life I grew up here on the inside And i cannot wait to stretch my legs when my father calls And i walk out of this place {outro} Yeah, i cannot wait to stretch my legs when my father calls Yeah, i cannot wait to stretch my legs when my father calls And i walk out of this place
