Mind is a Prison (Remix)

[Verse 1]

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 call them my eyes

I'm just going where the wind blows, I don't get to decide

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

Guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

Guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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

Guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out
