​the prison Lyrics by ​postmind

colourful boats

2016

[Verse 1]
Have you ever heard about a man
Who gave up all the pretty books he had
And washed down all the memories
To find out what he needs

Or have you ever heard about a girl
She hides her own collarbones and neck
And wet stains on the pillow
Left there by her tears

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
All these sick people in my head
Drag me through the roads and wilderness
They reach out with their (dirty) hands
Asking for my help

I see them, they are trying to break through
The wall I built when I was broken too
It’s made of insecurities
With a hint of gold

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Help all these souls
Occupying my head
Escape from the prison
I created for them

I am standing alone
All the words are stuck
Deep in my throat
Will anyone ever read what I wrote

[Instrumental outro]
