Lyrics
The walls of my jail are the walls of my mind
And my fear is the lock on the door
My eyes are the windows they only see out
But then what would they see inward for?
No happenings of wonder lie hid in my cell
There's no thoughts there worth listening to
For I'm trapped and my freedom's been taken from me
Can you say you're a prisoner too?
If you spoke, if you loosened the lock with your key
And unleash your thoughts.... let them run free
Would the minds of philosophers tune into yours
Would the world be a much better place to be?
There are secrets outside which my eyes can't behold
There are sounds I am longing to hear
But I'm only conditioned to lie in my jail
And my constant companion is fear
Aaghhhhhhh!
How would you cope, free spirits, were you in my shoes
Would you let out the scream of despair
Would you run to your priests or psychiatrist friends
Would you feel deserved of their care?
For myself I know who is to blame for this jail
I designed it and built it without aid
And I need no assistance so long as I stay
I'm alone but my soul's unafraid
Yeahhhh!
Only once when a voice called me softly to come
And my eyes gave the voice misty face
Then my sleepy companion, fear, clawed at my soul
'Til my eyes re-adjusted to space
Do not waste your pity on one such as I
I know more than you'd ever conceive
When the view from my prison looks brighter to me
I will grant myself instant reprieve.
Yeah I would set myself free
