Innocent Prisoner

about

Written in fall 2012

lyrics

You can't keep quiet
There's a riot in your cell, you sit beside it
Freedom is just a word, it's as trapped as a bird
I can hear you, your words resonate through my heart and they ring true
To be honest it's all just a great big lie
I'm not alone but always lonely underneath this stone sky
You're an innocent prisoner, I can see it in your eyes
I guess I can't protect you from a multitude of lies
There is nobody left for you
I wish that I was left for you
In this ghost town, where nothing but nothing is around
I could help you escape into a better place
But I can't reach past these imaginary bars
I can't bring myself to try just that hard
It took me a while to comprehend the truth
You see that I'm an innocent prisoner too
If you have to face your death I'm gonna scream and make it stop
But there is nothing I can do, for I have everything to lose
I'm an innocent prisoner, can't you see it in my eyes?
I guess you can't protect me from a multitude of lies
There is nobody left for me, I wish that you were left for me
