As woke up in a nightmare I can't stop this noise And the fear it is leaking With the poison of joy Reaping hell with my system The memory of the high it stays Will I remember this tomorrow As my mind fades to grey? Now you know I spent my life Always searching for the blame It isn't easy I'm a prisoner of shame I never show my face And I never state my name I'm so restrained I'm a prisoner of shame Now I guess I got a witness Cause I wrote all the guilty lines So the god of clean has shot me Lost my name and said he must decline All I need is just a little so I can ease the pain Ain't no number for my sorrow it will only drive me insane Now you know I spent my life Always searching for the blame It isn't easy I'm a prisoner of shame I never show my face And I never state my name I'm so restrained I'm a prisoner of shame I'm a prisoner, a prisoner of shame As I woke from the nightmare I could feel the release in me And the gods have chosen, to declare Now they say I've been wasting my life And those were the words that would cut like a knife.
