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 'til they found me And they put me back in my cell All by myself, alone with my thoughts again I 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 to 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 'til they found me And they put me back in my cell All by myself, alone with my thoughts again I 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 'til they found me And they put me back in my cell All by myself, alone with my thoughts again I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out --- Mind Is A Prison - Alec Benjamin
