lyrics

I’m a prisoner
of my own making
I built the walls
now the walls are shaking
I let down my guard
and I let you in
A moment of weakness
and I was on my knees

Don’t you know there’s nothing more to tell
I’m wasting my days in my cell
Don’t you know there’s nothing more to tell
In your arms
I’m a prisoner

I’ve been saving
all my good deeds
Chalk on my fingers
the good lord will see
I don’t seek redemption
nor a balm of pity
May you remember
the man before me

Don’t you know there’s nothing more to tell
I can hear the tolling of the funeral bell
Don’t you know there’s nothing more to tell
In your arms
I’m a prisoner

Don’t you know there’s nothing more to tell
You’re gonna let me rot here in this cell
Don’t you know there’s nothing more to tell
In your arms
I’m a prisoner
In your arms
I’m a prisoner
