These walls are not my prison
when i lock the door by choice
but these walls are not a sanctuary
when all i hear is my own voice
I go through the door as a free man can
but in your walls i can't be who i am
This life is not my prison
when i can't ignore the truth
that this life aint no paradise
when it bears all it's fruit to you
i go through this life
as best as i can
but you can't get much
without a helping hand
And so you say to me
with such a delicate stare
focus on getting what you want
and then maybe i will care
but what if that thing i want
is to give you what you need
how much should i want you
if you need me to beg and plead
oh i won't live on my knees
so find someone else to tease
this body is not my prison
when the wasteland is all around
bu this body is not a play ground
open to the whole town
i go through the motions
as anyone would
i try to move forward
but it's doing no good
And so you say to me
with such a delicate stare
focus on getting what you want
and then maybe i will care
but what if that thing i want
is to give you what you need
how much should i want you
if you need me to beg and plead
oh i won't live on my knees
so find someone else to tease
Oh i am not a prisoner
but you make me feel that way
and if i weren't such a fool
I'd have no reason to stay
I go to escape and be my own man
but i can't get away without you pulling me in
I go to escape and be my own man
but i can't get away without you pulling me in
