Mind is a Prison

I don't live in California, I'll inform you, that's not where I reside

I'm just a tenant, paying rent inside this body and I

Got two windows and those windows, well I'll call them my eyes

I'm just going where the wind blows, I don't get to decide

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 off my bed

Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found

Scaled the side of the building

I ran to the hills till 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

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

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 off my bed

Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found

Scaled the side of the building

I ran to the hills till 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

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

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

Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found

Scaled the side of the building

I ran to the hills till 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
