My Own Prison





A court is in session A verdict is in

No appeal on the docket today, just my own sin

The walls are cold and pale the cage made of steel

Screams fill the room alone I drop and kneel

Silence now the sound my breath the only motion around

Demons cluttering around my face showing no emotion

Shackled by my sentence expecting no return

Here there is no penance my skin begins to burn

 

(chorus)

So I held my head up high hiding hate that burns inside which

only fuels there selfish pride

We're all held captive out from the sun

A sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in one

I hear a thunder in the distance see a vision of a cross

I feel the pain that was given on that sad day of loss

A lion roars in the darkness only he holds the key

A light to free me from my burden and grant me life eternally

Should have been dead on a Sunday morning banging my head no time for

mourning ain't got no time

 

(chorus)

I cry out to God seeking only his decision

Gabriel stands and confirms

I've created my own prison
