lyrics

13 years in a 6 by 6 cell
living my days in my personal hell
My head it lies elsewhere
My body's signed over to you
I pace this floor daily, mark time in my head
wonder if living is better than death
The silence cuts through me
the walls breathe a sigh of regret

and i know in my heart, I'll be free
'cos every second takes you further from me

There's an honour, a friendship, in the convicts I've met
Sharing the days that we long to forget
neglected yet human, deflected
from all self control
They can beat us, mistreat us
they can higher the walls
make us stand to attention
with their rules and their laws
they'll never get through us
they'll never succeed in our fall

and i know in my heart, I'll be free
'cos every second takes you further from me

I will leap from the cliff edge
take my chance with the sea
avoiding the shark tooth
as I try to break free
treat each wave with respect
a respect never shown to me

I will present my bill
to the lawyers, the judge
to the jury, the policeman
the seeds of my grudge
forfeit my innocence
with the death of real criminals
of law

and i know in my heart, I'll be free
'cos every second takes you further from me

about

Kilnaboy UK

Kilnaboy the band shares its name with a tiny village on the West Coast of Ireland. Most of our ideas and influences stem from an active protesting background and the constant frustration of trying to exist in an industry where music is lost in a void of cloned popstars. We will carry on regardless in the hope that music still has the power to change the blinkered perception of mainstream society. ... more
