Prison Lyrics

I built a prison, once long ago
No windows, no lights, no hope inside
I placed myself within this cell I had
With nowhere else to get away from here
Now I've rot locked inside
Did I forget the key?
Maybe I never wanted one anyway

My prison is my home, it keeps the joy outside
Sadness safely tucked away, my soul rots inside
[x2]

Gonna break through the edge
Gonna make some noise
Gonna burn this fucking place all down and make some noise
And make some noise

A dream once lived, translucent and free
My dream is now in a shadow box, an ode to misery
How did this come about?
I feel upon my own demise, opaque and a lifeless hole
I drink from blood which spills from the open wound
Absorbed and released again, I long to see the end

My prison is my home, it keeps the joy outside
Sadness safely tucked away, my soul rots inside
[x2]

Death - I know not
Life - I thought I did
Ignorance - it seems it has been the only guide,
My spark of life... it all falls down
