Prison of Pain

Locked in a cell...bound in shackles and chains
Scarring my soul and bleeding my brain
It feels like 4ever but it's just another day
How I long to be free from this prison of pain

Put on display my sad smile fades away
Yesterdays into tomorrows...they all go just the same
Today I'm still confined in confusions steel cage
How I long to be free from this prison of pain

I beg and I plead on dirty knees
While gruesome guards grip golden keys
They promise me a future as all hope it goes away
How I long to be free from this prison of pain

I'm seeking a sign as I search for a savior
Like a man lost at sea I need a life saver
God pulls me above as I'm gripped in His grace
4ever now free from this prison of pain
