Intro: (Trapped) x4*
Verse 1: I was once young and free
Livin’ for only me
No thought I’d ever be
(Trapped)
Life of drugs, booze and vice
Women who I’d entice
But now I pay the price
(Trapped)
Chorus: (Trapped) - My back’s against the wall
(Trapped) - What I had, lost it all
No more just take and use
That’s a sure way to lose
Now’s time to pay my dues
(Trapped)
Verse 2: My “yes’s” turned to “no’s”
From highs I sunk so low
Got nowhere left to go
(Trapped)
Ran bills I couldn’t pay
All I had’s gone away
Karma’s a bitch, they say
(Trapped)
Chorus: (Trapped) - Friends, fun and wealth all flown
(Trapped) - I’m left here all alone
Locked up without a key
Chains I forged binding me
No way out I can see
(Trapped)
Interlude: (Trapped) x8
Chorus: (Trapped) - Bird in a rusted cage
(Trapped) - Solo on darkened stage
No goin’ back in time
Life sentence for my crime
Prison of my design
(Trapped)
Outro: (Trapped) x8 and fade
