A Prisoner of My Own Memories
I'm a prisoner of my own memories
Always chained into my own past
Swallowed into the complete darkness
As I fight against the pain of my life
The cage of my mistakes is my prison
For the warden of the pain took away the key
No one can hear me scream or cry
As I shake these bars like a caged animal
The haunting nights of my own prison
And I'm the prisoner of my own nightmares
Unable to rest during my darkest nights
As I feel the torture from my errors
Being alone in my very own prison
There's no absolute escape
Blamed and condemned for all eternity
As I try to forget a painful day for 7 years
Trying to erase you from my mind
Trying to forget you in my life
Trying to let you go from my heart
As this is what I do everyday as a prisoner
A prisoner of my own memories...
