Mind Is A Prison

I don't live in California I'll inform you

That's not where I reside

I'm just a tenant paying rent inside this body and I

Got two windows and those windows well I'll call them my eyes

I'm just going where the wind blows I don't get to decide

Sometimes I think too much yeah I get so caught up

I'm always stuck in my head

I wish I could escape I tried to yesterday

Took all the sheets off my bed

Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found

Scaled the side of the building

I ran to the hills till they found me

And they put me back in my cell

All by myself alone with my thoughts again

I guess my mind is a prison

And I'm never gonna get out

So they tranquilized me analyzed me

Threw me back in my cage

Then they tied me to an IV told me I was insane

I'm a prisoner a visitor inside of my brain

And no matter what I do they try to keep me in chains

Sometimes I think to much yeah I get so caught up

I'm always stuck in my head

I wish I could escape I tried to yesterday

Took all the sheets off my bed

Then I tied up my linen

With five strips of ribbon I found

Scaled the side of the building

I ran to the hills till they found me

And they put me back in my cell

All by myself alone with my thoughts again

I guess my mind is a prison

And I'm never gonna get out

Said even if it's true no matter what I do

I'm never gonna escape

I won't give up on hope secure another rope

And try for another day

Said even if it's true no matter what I do

I'm never gonna escape

I won't give up on hope secure another rope

And try for another day

Then I tied up my linen

With five strips of ribbon I found

Scaled the side of the building

I ran to the hills till they found me

And they put me back in my cell

All by myself alone with my thoughts again

I guess my mind is a prison

And I'm never gonna get out
