Below, you will find the lyrics for Mind is a Prison by Alec Benjamin.
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
Chorus 1
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
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
Chorus 2
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
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 3
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
