My Own Prison

1: Torn


Peace is what they tell me
Love am I unholy
Lies are what they tell me
Despise you that control me

The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed the reason for
My intentions poor
Yes, I'm the one who
The only one who
Would carry on this far

Torn, I'm filthy
Born in my own misery
Stole all that you gave me
Control you claim you save me

The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed the reasons for
My intentions poor
Yes, I'm the one who
The only one who
Would carry on this far

Peace in my head...
Love in my head...
Lies, lies, lies, lies in my head

The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed the reasons for
My intentions poor
Yes, I'm the one who
The only one who
Would carry on this far


2: Ode

Hang me, watch awhile
Let me see you smile as I die
Take me as my body burns
Let me see you yearn, while I cry

One step on your own
And you walk all over me
One head in the clouds
You won't let go, you're too proud
One light to the blind, and they see
One touch on the head, we believe

Adore me as I drift away
Let me hear you say I'm fine
You cry as my body dies
All that you despised is gone away

One step on your own
And you walk all over me
One head in the clouds
You won't let go, you're too proud
One light to the blind, and they see me
One touch on the head, we believe
We believe...

Yeah!

One step on your own
And you walk all over me
One head in the clouds
You won't let go, you're too proud
One light to the blind, and they see me
One touch on the head, we believe
We believe...


3: My Own Prison

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

So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
All held captive out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one

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

Should have been dead
On a Sunday morning
Banging my head
No time for mourning
Ain't got no time

So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
All held captive out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one

I cry out to God
Seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and confirms
I've created my own prison

So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
All held captive out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one

(I've created my own prison)

Should have been dead
On a Sunday morning
Banging my head
No time for mourning
Ain't got no time


4: Pity For A Dime

An artifical season
Covered by summer rain
Losing all my reason
'Cause there's nothing left to blame

Shadows paint the sidewalk
A living picture in a frame
See the sea of people
All their faces look the same

So I sat down for awhile
Forcing a smile
In a state of self-denial
Is it worthwhile
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah, just one dime
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah, just one dime

Plain talk can be the easy way
Signs of losing my faith, losing my faith
Plain talk can be the easy way
Signs of losing my faith, losing my faith

So I sat down for awhile
Yeah, forcing a smile
In a state of self-denial
Yeah, is it worthwhile
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah, just one dime
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah, just one dime


5: In America

Only in America
We're slaves to be free
Only in America
We kill the unborn to make ends meet
Only in America
Sexuality is democracy
Only in America
We stamp our God: "In God we Trust"

What is right or wrong?
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song
In America
What is right or wrong?
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song
In America

Church bell's ringing
Pass the plate around
The choir is singing
As their leader falls to the ground
Please mister prophet man
Tell me which way to go
I gave my last dollar
Can I still come to your show?

What is right or wrong?
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song
In America
What is right or wrong?
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song
In America

Yeah!

I am right, and you are wrong
I am right, and you are wrong
I am right, and you are wrong
No one's right, and no one's wrong
In America

What is right or wrong?
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song
In America
What is right or wrong?
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song
In America


6: Illusion

The sun rises to another day
My constitution keeps changing
'Til it slips away
So I lie awake and stare
My mind thinking, just wandering
Is anybody there?

Should I stay or go?
Should I sleep or stay awake?
Am I really happy or is it all
Just an illusion?

Sitting in my room now
Hiding thoughts
Just hoping one day I'll get out
I hear a voice call my name
Breaking trance, so silent
So I can stay the same

Should I stay or go?
Should I sleep or stay awake?
Am I really happy or is it all
Just an illusion?

Wait now, many things left unsaid
This life remains the same
But I change
I try to fool myself in believing
Things are going to get better
But life goes on

Should I stay or go?
Should I sleep or stay awake?
Am I really happy or is it all
Just an illusion?
Just an illusion


7: Unforgiven

I kept up with the prophecy you spoke
I kept up with the message inside
Lost sight of the irony of twisted faith
Lost sight of my soul and its void

Think I'm, think I'm unforgiven to this world
Think I'm, think I'm unforgiven to this world

Took a chance at deceiving myself
To share in the consequence of lies
Childish with my reasoning and pride
Godless to the extent that I died

Think I'm, think I'm unforgiven to this world
Think I'm, think I'm unforgiven to this world
Think I'm unforgiven

Step inside the light and see the fear of God burn inside of me
The gold was put to flame, to kill, to burn, to mould its purity

Think I'm, think I'm unforgiven to this world
Think I'm, think I'm unforgiven to this world
Think I'm unforgiven


8: Sister

Caught up in the middle
Had no choice, had no choice
Birthright forgotten
So silent, no voice

I see you
You know who
Little sister, little sister
Now realize little sister
Overlooked little girl
Now realize little sister
Overlooked little girl

Bottled up and empty holding back
At loss you're forgotten getting back, get back
Bottled up and empty holding back
At loss you're forgotten getting back, get back

Expectations of another
Love given to the younger
Broken father, broken brother
Emptiness feeds the hunger

I see you
You know who
Little sister, little sister
Now realize little sister
Overlooked little girl
Now realize little sister
Overlooked little girl

Bottled up and empty holding back
At loss you're forgotten getting back, get back
Bottled up and empty holding back
At loss you're forgotten getting back, get back

Now realize little sister
Overlooked little girl
Now realize little sister
Overlooked little girl

Change, change, change...


9: What's This Life For

Hurray for a child
That makes it through
If there's any way
Because the answer lies in you
They're laid to rest
Before they know just what to do
Their souls are lost
Because they could never find
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for

I see your soul, it's kind of gray
You see my heart, you look away
You see my wrist, I know your pain
I know your purpose on your plane
Don't say a last prayer
Because you could never find
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for

But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle the score
'Cause we all live
Under the reign of one king


10: One

Affirmative may be justified
Take from one give to another
The goal is to be unified
Take my hand be my brother
The payment silenced the masses
Sanctified by oppression
Unity took a backseat
Sliding further in regression

One, ooh one
The only way is one
One, ooh one
The only way is one

I feel angry, I feel helpless
Want to change the world, yeah
I feel violent, I feel alone
Don't try and change my mind, no

Society blind by color
Why hold down one to raise another
Discrimination now on both sides
Seeds of hate blossom further
The world is heading for mutiny
When all we want is unity
We may rise and fall, but in the end
We meet our fate together

One, ooh one
The only way is one
One, ooh one
The only way is one

I feel angry, I feel helpless
Want to change the world, yeah
I feel violent, I feel alone
Don't try and change my mind, no

The only way is one
One...yeah

I feel angry, I feel helpless
Want to change the world, yeah
I feel violent, I feel alone
Don't try and change my mind, no
