My Own Prison lyrics

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

So I held my head up
high, hiding hate
that burns inside
which only fuels
their 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

Should have been dead
on a Sunday morning
banging my head

No time for mourning
ain't got no time

So I held my head up
high, hiding hate that
burns inside which
only fuels their
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 cry out to God
seeking only
his decision

Gabriel stands
and confirms
I've created
my own prison....

I cry out to God
seeking only
his decision

Gabriel stands
and confirms
I've created
my own prison....

So I held my head up
high, hiding hate that
burns inside
which only fuels
their 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

So I held my head up
high, hiding hate that
burns inside
which only fuels
their 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

Should've been dead
on a Sunday morning
banging my head

No time for mourning
ain't got no time...
