Cell Block Rain

Lyrics

[Intro] I used to smile for the camera Now I stare at the wall I got my name in that book, baby And it still don't tell it all, I wish my life was easy, but it’s not after all, I still write crazy Indians, but my life is over [Verse 1] They closed that gate behind my back Cold gray floor under my shoes Grandma cried on the phone that night Said, “Boy, what you got more to lose” I held that shame in my chest Like a stone I could not shake Every letter I never sent Came back at me in the break [Pre-Chorus] And I can't sleep right With these ghosts in my head I keep hearing my own words Like a warning I said If I make it through this I won't waste this skin I got cracks in my spirit But I still want in [Chorus] I’m tryna change my life (tryna change my life) I’m tryna change my life (tryna change my life) No more chains on me No more pain on me I’m tryna change my life (tryna change my life) [Verse 2] I would always think about this girl oh, that girl I said I loved, but I lost most things in my head, so I decided to reflect and then I said, u were my love, u were my star, I just got drunk and I went up into the bar, I wanna kill myself mmm, because I messed up but like I said oh [Pre-Chorus] And I can't sleep right With these ghosts in my head I keep hearing my own words Like a warning I said If I make it through this I won't waste this skin I got cracks in my spirit But I still want in [Chorus] I’m tryna change my life (tryna change my life) I’m tryna change my life (tryna change my life) No more chains on me No more pain on me I’m tryna change my life (tryna change my life) [Bridge] I know I got so low Thought the dark was home But I seen one small light In a cell all alone If you hear me, stay close Don’t let go tonight I’m still here, I’m still here And I’m fighting for life [Final Chorus] I’m tryna change my life (tryna change my life) I’m tryna change my life (tryna change my life) No more chains on me No more pain on me I’m tryna change my life (tryna change my life)
