Self Made Trap
by Michael Roe

Album: It's For You


I'll beat the rap for a self-made trap,
Get all tied up, endless crap,
A quicksand - I planned,
Pitfalls - I dig 'em all,
Self-made rope, self-made binds,
I'm all wrapped up in a sour grapevine,
A human web - I've spun every thread,
Tight nets - weave all I can get,
A rat's maze wouldn't faze,
Brick walls - I'm enthralled.

Self-made traps, self-made snares, handicaps and wheelchairs,
Drown myself in rain, freeze myself in snow,
Help comes fast, pride goes slow,
Could be free if I choose,
Born to win, dying to lose.

Self-made twine and hand-made chains,
I'm all bound up, self-contained,
Jail cells - I build well,
Lion's den - I got a yen,
Land mines - well, I design,
Avalanche - I wouldn't blanch.

Self-made traps, self-made snares, handicaps and wheelchairs,
Drown myself in rain, freeze myself in snow,
Help comes fast, pride goes slow,
Could be free if I choose,
Born to win, dying to lose.

The warden comes to set me free; I grip the bars, swallow up the key,
It's like serving time when there's none left,
Like a fast train nowhere, but we're not there yet,
The scenery moves, the train stands still, yeah, yeah.

Dungeon dark - quench every spark,
A hangman's noose - never leave 'em loose.

Self-made traps, self-made locks - combinations I forgot,
For guards and gates I await,
I'm a natural born inmate,
Could be free if I choose,
Born to win, dying to lose,
Lust came fast, but love left slow,
The dye is cast, the word is "No."
