[Verse 1]
Hands tied tight in the dark
Rope bite, no chance to bark
Cold floor, stone on my skin
Every drip sounds like a sin
I hear boots in the hall
Or maybe just my heart fall
One small scrape in the black
And I flinch with my back to the crack
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the breaths, count the cracks
Count the lies in my tracks
If they come, I’ll never know
If they leave, I’m still below
[Chorus]
I’m a prisoner of my mind
(prisoner of my mind)
Every shadow leaves me blind
(prisoner of my mind)
Chains are shaking all around
But the cage was never found
I’m a prisoner of my mind
(prisoner of my mind)
[Verse 2]
They could drag me through the door
Throw my name across the floor
But the fear in my head
Built these walls where I bled
Every silence takes a face
Every corner has a trace
I was waiting for a sign
Now I see it’s all inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the breaths, count the cracks
Count the lies in my tracks
If they come, I’ll never know
If they leave, I’m still below
[Chorus]
I’m a prisoner of my mind
(prisoner of my mind)
Every shadow leaves me blind
(prisoner of my mind)
Chains are shaking all around
But the cage was never found
I’m a prisoner of my mind
(prisoner of my mind)
[Bridge]
No keys in the iron door
No jailer standing guard anymore
It was me in the dark, all along
Breaking myself to keep me gone
[Break]
[Clean Guitar]
I named the fear
I named the lock
I named the cell
I named the shock
[Final Chorus]
I’m a prisoner of my mind
(prisoner of my mind)
Every shadow leaves me blind
(prisoner of my mind)
Chains are shaking all around
But the cage was never found
I’m a prisoner of my mind
(prisoner of my mind)
