Behind the Bars

I've been lying behind the bars
With my heart in my hand
Trying to find room to stand
Hear the sound of the passing cars
Yeah, they're over my head
Am I alive? Let me check

I won't go to the place I was at
It's too late
I forgot to forget
Did I scream what I said?
When I lost something good
In my head, trapped in wood
From the caskets, we closed
Now my hands are ruby red

Ooh

I've been trying real hard
To think but I don't get it
I can't understand why
It's got to feel so far
While you're sitting there on the beach
With my heart in your hand
Pumping blood in the sand
I don't want to be here
I don't want to revere
All the words that you said
But they're here in my head
Somewhere far in between
But you don't give a damn

Ooh

I held on too tight to the words that you said
Now they're over my head
Yeah, they're over my head
And I don't feel fine
Yeah, I don't feel high
AM I over it like You're over it?
