Lyrics of Mind Is a Prison by Alec Benjamin
verse
I don't live in California
I'll inform you that's not where I reside
I'm just a tenant
Payin' rent inside this body and I
Got two windows and those windows
Well, I call them my eyes
I'm just goin' where the wind blows
I don't get to decide
pre-chorus
Sometimes I think too much
Yeah, I get so caught up
I'm always stuck in my head
I wish I could escape
I tried to yesterday
Took all the sheets of my bed
chorus
Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found
Scaled the side of the buildin', I ran to the hills 'til they found me
And they put me back in my cell, all by myself
Alone with my thoughts again
Guess my mind is a prison, and I'm never gonna get out
verse
So they tranquilized me analyzed me
Threw me back in my cage
Then they tied me to an IV
Told me I was insane
I'm a prisoner a visitor inside of my brain
And no matter what I do
They try to keep me in chains
pre-chorus
Sometimes I think too much
Yeah, I get so caught up
I'm always stuck in my head
I wish I could escape
I tried to yesterday
Took all the sheets of my bed
chorus
Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found
Scaled the side of the buildin', I ran to the hills 'til they found me
And they put me back in my cell, all by myself
Alone with my thoughts again
Guess my mind is a prison, and I'm never gonna get out
bridge
Said even if it's true
No matter what I do
I'm never gonna escape
I won't give up on hope
Secure another rope
And try for another day
verse
Said even if it's true
No matter what I do
I'm never gonna escape
I won't give up on hope
Secure another rope
And try for another day
chorus
Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found
Scaled the side of the buildin', I ran to the hills 'til they found me
And they put me back in my cell, all by myself
Alone with my thoughts again
Guess my mind is a prison, and I'm never gonna get out
