[Verse 1]
I'll beat the rap
For a self-made trap
Get all caught up
In endless crap
Human web
I've spun every thread
Tight nets
Weave all I could get
[Verse 2]
Self-made rope
And self-made binds
I'm all caught up
With a sour grape vine
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
[Chorus 1]
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
(Born to lose)
[Verse 3]
Self-made rope
Hand-made chains
I'm all tied up
Self-contained
Jail cells
I build well
Lion's dens
I got a yen
Landmines
I design
Avalanche
I wouldn't blanch
[Chorus 1]
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 bend the walls, swallow up the key
[Bridge]
It's like serving time when there's none left
On a fast train nowhere, but we're not there yet
The scenery moves, the train stands still
[Verse 4]
Dungeon dark
Quench every spark
A hangman's noose
Never leave 'em loose
[Chorus]
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
Lust came fast, love came slow
The die is cast, the word is no
[Guitar Solo]
