Prisoners

Prisoners

Staring at the wall
Staring at the ceiling
I’ve got nothing at all
My spirit is reeling
I’m being bled dry
From all the times I try
My efforts are in vain
So why do I remain?
I’m bumping up against the walls
I built around my life
I’m dug in a hole to hide from all your strife
I’m a shadow of myself
Cause you won’t let me shine
Blinded by the darkness of your angry mind
Heartbreak times
Prisoners of our own design

You demand and complain
I try to assuage
You’re selfish and vain
Impossible to guage
You live in the past
Can’t let it go
Cold and accusing to keep it so

How did it come to this?
It started with a kiss
How did it go so wrong?
You said you love that song
