"My Own Prison"

Verse:[riff D C]

A court is in session, a verdict is in

No appeal on the docket today Just my own sin

The walls are cold and pale The cage made of steel

Screams fill the room Alone I drop and kneel

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:[C B Bb D]

(And I said oh) So I held my head up high

Hiding hate that burns inside

Which only fuels their selfish pride

(And I said oh) We're all held captive

Out from the sun

A sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in one

Verse:

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

Bridge:[D F/Bb C]

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:

(And I said oh) So I held my head up high

Hiding hate that burns inside

Which only fuels their selfish pride

(And I said oh) We're all held captive

Out from the sun

A sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in one

Solo / Bridge2:

[C G/C D F/Bb]

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:

(And I said oh) So I held my head up high

Hiding hate that burns inside

Which only fuels their selfish pride

(And I said oh) We're all held captive

Out from the sun

A sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in one

(And I said oh) So I held my head up high

Hiding hate that burns inside

Which only fuels their selfish pride

(And I said oh) We're all held captive

Out from the sun

A sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in one

Should've been dead on a Sunday morning

banging my head

No time for mourning

Ain't got no time
