Who would want a life subjected to so much pain...
Where lonely and suppression is your middle name?
You live your life or should I say, your life lives you
Subjected to damnation in society’s view
You can’t escape the pressure and the shame you feel
Blaming God for everything your heart can’t reveal
Desires boiling to the surface quickly concealed
You’re creeping out at night to find that forbidden thrill
You’re holding on to your sanity, but you’re losing your grip
It’s your life, and in the end, you’ll answer to it
Emotional conflict - You can’t get out this ditch
So you live your life wearing a straight-jacket
Straight-jacket
You can’t escape from wearing a straight-jacket
You can’t escape...You can’t escape!
Straight-jacket
You can’t escape!
You can’t escape!
Straight-jacket
I’m sure you heard the adage: ‘To thyself be true’
But it’s not easy when society oppresses you
Confusion, shame, and isolation have overpowered
You’re givin’ up on love, ‘cause your heart feels devoured
Mental verses physical - the two are at war
Sexual temptation oozing from every pore
You can’t escape the demons knockin’ at your door
Guilty pleasures enticing you more and more
You’re holding on to your sanity, but you’re losing your grip
It’s your life, and in the end, you’ll answer to it
Emotional conflict - You can’t get out this ditch
So you live your life wearing a straight-jacket
Straight-jacket
You can’t escape from wearing a straight-jacket
You can’t escape...You can’t escape!
Straight-jacket
You can’t escape!
You can’t escape!

Your mask is not convincing, but she plays the fool
The unseen truth can’t hurt her - that’s her twisted rule
Her friends are trying to convince her to face the truth
The lies you thought were set are now becoming unglued
Your skeletons are knocking on that closet door
They ain’t gon’ disappear, and they won’t be ignored
Soon you’ll have to answer or you’ll be exposed
But you insist on trying to keep that closet closed
You’re holding on to your sanity, but you’re losing your grip
It’s your life, and in the end, you’ll answer to it
Emotional conflict - You can’t get out this ditch
So you live your life wearing a straight-jacket
Straight-jacket
You can’t escape from wearing a straight-jacket
You can’t escape...You can’t escape!
Straight-jacket
You can’t escape!
You can’t escape!
