Behind Locked Doors

Behind Locked Doors

The doors are blue, the walls are white,

the rooms are chilly, the security's tight.

The hallways are long, the rules are strict,

the feeling is raw, the windows are thick.

The days are fast, the months are slow,

the smell is ugly, the wind never blows.

Behind locked doors is not a place to be,

especially if you want to be free.

Behind locked doors is a fear of my own,

I don't know when I'm going to go home.

Outside these doors is the gift of life,

but trouble is waiting to take the bite.

Behind locked doors there's a positive side,

if you learned your lesson, you won't end up

back inside.
