Prisoner

I bite my tongue til it bleeds My cry for help falls on deaf ears Will this pain ever let me be All I want is to close my eyes My mind won't let the past stay buried I'm yearning for the peace we all deserve I wake up to the alarm again Another night, another nightmare, it never ends Put the mask on, so no one asks Living a lie, my own hell, my own trap A prisoner in my own mind A prisoner, trapped in my own mind Will I ever heal from this Can't remember life without the shadow I've been running from myself Chasing peace I've never known My mind won't let the past stay buried I'm yearning for the peace we all deserve I wake up to the alarm again Another night, another nightmare, it never ends Put the mask on, so no one asks Living a lie, my own hell, my own trap A prisoner in my own mind A prisoner, trapped in my own mind My past holds the key to my release. Not the wound. The way out. Every scar's a lock I never knew I had the combination to. I'm breaking from the alarm, I'm done I'm done living every night like it's just begun Take the mask off, let them ask 'Cause I found the key — I'm taking back The prisoner, the prisoner in my mind Not anymore — I'm walking out this time
