Still feel bare when I wear silly city clothes
Last time in jail, there was a suicide pretty close
Eternal scrutiny oppression, bled defiance
Life could have slipped away but I held on to mine
Out of hell, life discovered a will
Kept it hidden, safe and secure
Free from malice, free from fear
A secret something, where people count for nothing
My heart bleeds, poor comrade
I suffered too exactly like you
Be aware, who would dare, have a care for a shadow
Am I ever really free
Can I come to terms with this
They meddle in my past, my present is in chains
My future's compromised and cast to the wind
A spreading sickness, burning deep inside
The sweetness of life is passing me by
Hostile faces, still steal
My comprehension and punish my convictions
Yes, my heart bleeds, poor comrade
I suffered too exactly like you
Be aware, who would dare, have a care for a shadow
Brother what they're doin' I see
Brother yeah it happened to me
Trivialities magnify
If looks could kill, you'd kill with your eyes
My heart bleeds, poor comrade
I suffered too exactly like you
Be aware, who would dare, have a care for a shadow
Comrade
I suffered too, I'm thinkin' of you
Be aware, who would dare, have a care for a shadow
