Verse 1 Concrete dawn, sirens sing, shadows crawl on steel, Names on a chalkboard, numbers, how a heartbeat feels. Chattooga nights, cold breath in the winter air, You can see your prayers fog up in the booth, but is anyone there? Degrees on the wall, but blood on the floor, Books in the library, knives in the dorm. Hope in a pamphlet, fear in a cell, Every door that slams sounds closer to hell. Pre-Chorus They say control the signal, blame the phones in our hands, But you can’t jam the hunger, or the anger in a man. You can’t mute a mother crying at a graveside stone, When a son don’t make it back from a place called home. Chorus Behind the razor wire, angels and devils collide, Prayers in the shadows, truth getting buried alive. Sirens for a heartbeat, then silence again, We keep countin’ the losses, not countin’ the men. Who’s watchin’ the watchmen? Who’s hearin’ the cries? Behind the razor wire, everybody bleeds the same inside. Verse 2 Bloods and the GDs, colors in the yard, But a mother don’t care what flag’s on your heart. Three names on the news, thirteen in the van, One was almost free, now he’s free in the sand. Contraband in the woods, drones in the sky, Backpacks full of poison, another soul to buy. Badges get heavy when the money gets light, Some sell out their oath in the dead of the night. Pre-Chorus They say “system stable,” but the alarms don’t sleep, CERT teams rush the gates, leadership deep. If this is order, then what’s the cost? How many more lives gotta be lost? Chorus Behind the razor wire, angels and devils collide, Hands reach through windows just to keep hope alive. A guard goes down, inmates scream for his breath, In a place built for punishment, compassion beats death. Who’s watchin’ the watchmen? Who’s tellin’ the truth? Behind the razor wire, we all bleed proof. Verse 3 Mental health wing, fire in the night, A man cryin’ for help, get locked out of sight. Cut on his skin, cut off his care, System turned cold, left him dyin’ in there. Forty-eight hours, a body not found, While the world keeps spinnin’, don’t hear the sound. I left with the ghosts, they still in my head, Kids need a father, not another name dead. Bridge I still pray for the brothers I left behind, Stay sharp, stay human, don’t lose your mind. In the chaos, in the dark, let the light get through, ‘Cause the hardest bars to break are the ones in you. Chorus (Final) Behind the razor wire, angels still fight, For every lost soul, for every long night. We more than our worst, more than our sin, More than a system that don’t let us win. Who’s watchin’ the watchmen? Who’s standin’ to say, Every life in these walls still matters today? Outro Concrete fades, but the truth stays loud, From Trion to Davisboro, say their names proud. This ain’t just a story, this ain’t just a song, It’s a cry for a system that’s been broken too long.
