Lyrics

The clock is tickin’
And the days are clickin’
Middle age has come and gone
All my choices have been wrong


The tears are stingin’
For the money war we ain’t winnin’
And I’m not here to lie
Seems I built My Own Prison

My own bars, my own walls
How cleverly I fall into the trap of my own creation
Poured cement and made it strong
Didn’t know that I was wrong ‘till I woke up so far down inside
Of My Own Prison

And the calendars flippin’, I can feel the noose grippin’
One more step back I will fall, lose everything after all
How my heart is given’ oh as the sun is sinking
While the last grains of sand fall through the hourglass in my hand

It’s my own bars and my own walls
How cleverly I fall into the trap of my own creation
Poured cement and made it strong
Didn’t know that I was wrong ‘till I woke up so far down inside

And I was young and I believe
I always would be free
No one could ever hold me down
Now It’s guards and heavy chains
I’ve only me to blame
It’s sentence time once again
In My Own Prison
It’s My Own Prison
