In the blue of the evening when the sun is low 
There's a shadow that creeps across my cell block floor 
And it comes to remind me what I'm in here for 

No, I'm not admittin' that I done the crime 
I'm only getting down to doin' time 
The passin' of day is no concern of mine 

There's a guard on the second shift comes on at three 
And he's always about a half inch off of me 
Like he needs to keep remindin' me that I'm not free 

God forgive him 'cause he doesn't see 
He's no less a prisoner 'cause he holds a key 
And God forbid he turn his back on me 

For every wall you build around your fear 
A thousand darker things are born in here 
There fed on contempt for all that you hold dear 

The truth is it doesn't matter what you do 
'Til you gaze in that mirror with an eye that's true 
And admit that what scares you is the me in you
