It's hard to breath
When you're choking on your pride
The only thing
Holding us back is our crooked mind
We don't realize
We're all prisoners of ourselves
The abstract
The things that distract
While we pray at the altar of delusion
We don't realize
We're all prisoners of ourselves
Sometimes I take a second and think about
What makes me me
Sitting alone and listening for the silence
Nothing's around me
Sometimes I take a second and think about
What makes me me
Sitting alone and listening for the silence
Nothing's around me
Your inner voice
Tells you to keep your mouth shut
Silence speaks more than words could ever say
We don't realize
We're all prisoners of ourselves
We sacrifice
All of our reveries
For a life
Keeping us in bondage
We don't realize
We're all prisoners of ourselves
Sometimes I take a second and think about
What makes me me
Sitting alone and listening for the silence
Nothing's around me
Sometimes I take a second and think about
What makes me me
Sitting alone and listening for the silence
Nothing's around me
Why are we told how to be
Why don't we set us free
I want to live my life on my feet
Nobody but me can set me free
Sometimes I take a second and think about
What makes me me
Sitting alone and listening for the silence
Nothing's around me
Sometimes I take a second and think about
What makes me me
Sitting alone and listening for the silence
Nothing's around me
