There's always a time when alone
When your thoughts strike and roam
But sometimes you have to be cautious
When picking a fight with your conscience
But it's all in your mind
The thoughts have become contrived
It's the only place you can't escape alive
Sometimes I just want to be released
We only have ourselves but there's no peace
Our minds are now a place where
We're the prisoner and the jailer
Sing along with me if you're one of my kind
Sing along if you're also a prisoner of mind
I can't stand the quiet
Because in the night it
Has become a time for fear
Overthinking every step I take
Overstepping every thought I make
Welcome to the land I call my psyche
A place where
scape is less than likely
Sometimes I just want to be released
We only have ourselves but there's no peace
Our minds are now a place where
We're the prisoner and the jailer
Sing along with me if you're one of my kind
Sing along if you're also a prisoner of mind
Quick, turn the music back on, before the thoughts come back
They return in bigger numbers, when they attack
They remind me of the pain and reopen the wound
He just came back in my life, is he leaving so soon?
My mind's a place of hurt, but there's nowhere else to be
Because even when I'm all alone, I'm still stuck with me
Sometimes I just want to be released
We only have ourselves but there's no peace
Our minds are now a place where
We're the prisoner and the jailer
Sing along with me if you're one of my kind
Sing along if you're also a prisoner of mind

Songs I Wrote
