"You Were Born In A Prison"

"You Were Born In A Prison" is the fourth song in the album Cancer that was written by Showbread
Lyrics:

the children wear their faith like bracelets

their passion like a wreath of bones

a lumbering hydra with hardening heads

steam from its talons, liquid chrome

oh the children cling to peace

the light through the socket of your eye of glass

they hope and they perish in the fire

atrophied and situated at an impasse

bless the Lord, oh my soul!

the apple in your mouth

the worm that gnaws it down to the pit

the things you go without

born into a prison they can't escape

there's no escape, there's no escape

born into a prison they can't escape

<span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">the children stand in line and wait to take the medicine

<span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">conform their thoughts, espouse the doctrine, accept the discipline

<span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">an animal scratches its back on a rock

<span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">against the planet's teeth, it subjugates the stone

<span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">the children, warped and genuflected

<span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">disappearing, all alone.
