Prisoner

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Standing here beneath the weight
Of towers rising in my mind
Built these walls to keep me safe
Now they're closing in with time
Every step I take retreats
Into the darkness that I find
[Pre-chorus]
The higher that I climb today
The further down I fall
These mountains that I face right now
Were never there at all
[Chorus]
I made them grow beyond my reach
I gave them all control
Now every peak stands over me
As darkness takes its toll
[Verse 2]
Painted black across the sky
The shapes keep multiplying fast
Try to run but can't deny
These chains I forged to make them last
Every breath becomes a fight
Against the prison of my past
[Pre-chorus]
The higher that I climb today
The further down I fall
These mountains that I face right now
Were never there at all
[Chorus]
I made them grow beyond my reach
I gave them all control
Now every peak stands over me
As darkness takes its toll
[Breakdown]
In silence now I stand alone
Watching as they rise
(The walls are closing in)
The truth becomes so clear to see
Through these burning eyes
[Bridge]
Break these chains
Tear down these walls
Face what I've created
Watch them fall
[Chorus]
I made them grow beyond my reach
I gave them all control
Now every peak stands over me
As darkness takes its toll
