My Own Prison

My Own Prison

Lyrics By Creed

A court is in session, a verdict is in

No appeal on the docket today Just my own sin

The walls are cold and pale The cage made of steel

Screams fill the room Alone I drop and kneel

Silence now the sound My breath the only motion around

Demons cluttering around My face showing no emotion

Shackled by my sentence Expecting no return

Here there is no penance My skin begins to burn

(And I said oh)

So I held my head up high

Hiding hate that burns inside

Which only fuels their selfish pride

(And I said oh)

We're all held captive Out from the sun

A sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in one

I hear a thunder in the distance

See a vision of a cross

I feel the pain that was given

On that sad day of loss

A lion roars in the darkness

Only he holds the key

A light to free me from my burden

And grant me life eternally

Should have been dead On a Sunday morning

Banging my head

No time for mourning

Ain't got no time

(And I said oh)

So I held my head up high

Hiding hate that burns inside

Which only fuels their selfish pride

(And I said oh)

We're all held captive Out from the sun

A sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in on

I cry out to God

Seeking only his decision

Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison

I cry out to God Seeking only his decision

Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison

(And I said oh)

So I held my head up high

Hiding hate that burns inside

Which only fuels their selfish pride

(And I said oh)

We're all held captive

Out from the sun A sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in one

(And I said oh)

So I held my head up high

Hiding hate that burns inside

Which only fuels their selfish pride

(And I said oh)

We're all held captive

Out from the sun A sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in one

Should've been dead on a Sunday morning banging my head

No time for mourning

Ain't got no time

Matthew 11:28

28
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
29.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
