[Verse 1]
I can’t ever go back
My soul can’t find no rest
I’ve been trying to lose my shadow
It still holds my past
I’m not ever alone

[Pre-Chorus]
My heart, my head, they’re fighting

Staring back at me
I run but I’ll always be a prisoner to me
[Verse 2]
I keep praying for change

People tell me I’m looking better
But they don’t feel my pain
[Pre-Chorus]
My heart, my head, they’re fighting
I’m losing my grip I’m sliding
I’m caught in the crossfire
I’ve been trying to save myself
[Chorus]
I run from the face I see
Staring back at me
I run but I’ll always be a prisoner to me
[Bridge]
A prisoner to me
A prisoner to me
A prisoner, a prisoner
[Chorus]
I run from the face I see
Staring back at me
I run but I’ll always be a prisoner to me
Prisoner was written by Brock Monroe & Molly Kate Kestner & Jungleboi.
Prisoner was produced by Jungleboi.
I wrote this track in LA with my good friends Molly Kate and Brock. We recorded the vocals over there and I finished the production in my home town of London. A truly international collaboration!
No, we released the track through my own label, as I do with all my other tracks.
