Prisoner Within
Another day is gone
the days feel like weeks and the weeks feel like months
I did this to myself or did I
can I use an excuse for my behaviors my feelings and addictions
or wont that be good enough
they all do what they've got to do to get through each miserable day
at night when we lay our heads down to rest
we're so alone dreding the next day
praying that the last day of addiction will come
maybe we will see the light after the long fight of being our own prisoner
our thoughts poking at us our mistakes resting heacy on our chest
our conscience eating at our unforgiven souls
this life hasn't quit the way I wanted it to be
I'm still not free
always running fast trying not to look on my frightning past
I cut my hair I change my look
living so many lives I could write a book
all I wanted was to be a star
I see I didn't make it far
now I'm left with another noticable scar
