My Own Prison

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Scott Stapp] Court is in session A verdict is in No appeal on the docket today Just my own sin The walls, cold and pale The cage, made of steel Screams fill the room Alone, I drop and kneel [Verse 2: Scott Stapp] Silence, now the sound My breath, the only motion around Demons cluttering around My face, showing no emotion Shackled by my sentence Expecting no return Here, there is no penance My skin begins to burn [Chorus: Scott Stapp, Mark Tremonti] (And I said, "Ohhhhhhh") So I held my head up high Hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride (And I said, "Ohhhhhhh") All held captive out from the sun A sun that shines on only some We, the meek, are all in one [Verse 3: Scott Stapp] I hear a thunder in the distance See a vision of a cross I feel the pain that was given On that sad day of loss A lion roars in the darkness Only he holds the key A light to free me from my burden And grant me life eternally [Pre-Chorus: Scott Stapp] Should have been dead On a Sunday morning Banging my head No time for mourning Ain't got no time Should have been dead On a Sunday morning Banging my head No time for mourning Ain't got no time [Chorus: Scott Stapp, Mark Tremonti] (And I said, "Ohhhhhhh") So I held my head up high Hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride (And I said, "Ohhhhhhh") All held captive out from the sun A sun that shines on only some We, the meek, are all in one [Bridge: Scott Stapp] I cry out to God Seeking only His decision Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison I cry out to God Seeking only His decision Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison [Chorus: Scott Stapp, Mark Tremonti] (And I said, "Ohhhhhhh") So I held my head up high Hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride (And I said, "Ohhhhhhh") All held captive out from the sun A sun that shines on only some We, the meek, are all in one (And I said, "Ohhhhhhh") So I held my head up high Hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride (And I said, "Ohhhhhhh") (I created, I created, I created) All held captive out from the sun A sun that shines on only some (I created, I created) We, the meek, are all in one (I created my own prison) [Outro: Scott Stapp] Should have been dead On a Sunday morning Banging my head No time for mourning Ain't got no time
