My mind, oh my mind
Holds me prisoner
To so many things
To so many untruths
So many lies
So many opinions
So many ideals
So much falsehood
And empty promises
To so much disappointment
And worthlessness
I just don't understand why...
Why do I let it control me this way
To lock me up and make me
Suffer at the start of each day
Dare I not seek freedom
And a strong peace of mind
Can I not think freedom, courage, strength
Would that not be the kind...
The kind thing to do, to seek,
To allow
The answer seems simple
The question is how
This prison, these walls, these shackles,
This mind.
