Four Walls

So when the saints go marching in

They won't be singing for your sins

They just hope to hell

You've learnt something living and breathing


Everybody dies with the debt,

No silence, watching death is how we live

Take it or leave it

Don't waste your breath

I clear my mind, deny real life

Define 'here' without borders

Possessions or enemies


Everybody dies with a debt

We all die for a life that we fear we will only forget

Or confess to a god that we know we only hear in ourselves


Bottle it up, let your problems distill

Forget your dreams, or fulfil them

Leave no trace, waste away

It's time for change


So when the saints go marching in

They won't be singing for your sins

They just hope to hell

You've learnt something living and breathing


Four walls in this prison

But I can still see the river

Four walls in this prison

Lies to poison your decision in life

Take note

Don't ignore it now you know

I saved my soul

I sold it to the open road


I found hope in the wreckage of progress

Trophies shattered and stained

(Do what you're told)

There's a mould to be broken

A light burning over your name


And I saved my soul

But I never said I wasn't the culprit

Never said I wasn't deceived

Just trying to rewrite the wrongs

That were written on me


Everybody dies with a debt

We all die for a life that we fear we will only forget

Or confess to a god that we know we only hear in ourselves


So when the saints go marching in

They won't be singing for your sins

They just hope to hell

You've learnt something living and breathing
