bustin’ out...

———————————- ———————————-

I’m a prisoner of my own mind
doin’ life without parole
a prisoner inside my mind
doin’ time down in the hole
way out on the dark side
where the sun don’t shine my heart and soul

it’s a sad life I live here
never knowin’ what I done
yeah, a sad ol’ life I’m livin’ here
‘cause I don’t know what I done
chasin’ down these shadow lands
hidin’ in fear ever’where I run

for the crime of just bein’ me
prosecuted in the first degree
locked up, baby, and lost the key
won’t somebody come set me free
a prisoner of my own mind
deep down in this hell black hole
way out on the dark side, baby
where the sun don’t shine my heart and soul

<break>

for the crime of just bein’ me
persecuted to the n^th degree
locked up, mama done thrown the key
can’t somebody come rescue me
prisoner inside my mind
rottin’ down this dark dank hole
ain’t nobody know my name
no one ever pray my soul

well, I’m breakin’ out tonight
climbin’ o’er that wall ‘fore the dawn
yeah, I’m bustin’ out tonight
goin’ over the wall afore the dawn
leave these dark memories behind
just my heart and soul to carry on
