Drinking till dawn

My cellmate's gone

I wanna get back

Crawl in the sand

And with the sun I'll stand

They got me by the hands
Being physically restrained by others.
But all I done was talk. I'm dead it's in their plans

Oh my hours sure ain't long
Feeling that time is passing slowly, possibly in a negative situation.

Should've acted mute
