Defenses build fences his lonely heart cries
Tired of elaborate painted lie
No one could know of the queen's thorned crown
For everyday he smiles a frown
He's dancing in lights, in fine apparel
While feeling his soul sink towards hell
Exquisitely finished is his masterpiece
It's taken him to a new low place
Convicted...sitting...in a cell
Within walls of safety, he can face himself
Though he is behind the key, his soul is free
his soul is free
Though he is behind the key, his soul is free
his soul is free
He slowly unravels his 20-year work
Peeling the oils, insights, sudden jerks
Through the guards and the walls and the
bars of steel
He's finding the courage to face and feel
Feels bad that he's happy, it doesn't make sense
From behind the walls, he brakes down the fence
Family embarrassed and relationships trashed
An authentic smile, new senses alas
Though he is behind the key, his soul is free
his soul is free
Though he is behind the key, his soul is free
his soul is free
Though his sentence still carries significant time
There's a peace within his soul and mind
His body still caged behind lock and key
But freed from his fences, he can finally be
Though he is behind the key, his soul is free
his soul is free
Though he is behind the key, his soul is free
his soul is free
Though he is behind the key
Soul is free
