Lyrics
Prisoner
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The looks are the smile is a lie
The clock drags on the smoke is in your eyes
You know the blame is someone's
But you don't quite know who
(In your mind)
If it could only be different
(In your heart)
If only you
Could run away from it
Prisoner, prisoner
Choosing death for life
(If you could only say)
Prisoner, prisoner smiling executioner
(You are a prisoner )
If money if love was in your life
If's run out gotta realize it's time
Confusion delusion alive in destitution
(In your mind)
If it could only be different
(In your heart)
If only you could
Run away from it
Prisoner, prisoner
Choosing death for life
(If you could only say)
Prisoner, prisoner smiling executioner
(You are a prisoner yea)
(Ooh yea)
