Cold metal constrictions
Silver chains connect
My two hands behind my back
Prisoner of my own game

Blue pants suits
And golden badges 
Toughed up faces show
Rigid disapproval 

Sirens wail
Flashing blue and red
Pristine white paint
Decorated nothingness

Yellow tape hiding
Yellow tape concealing
Yellow tape screaming
Gun spinning around

Bars slam
Bars rattle
Bars remind me
I am murder
