Head Prison Blues

(album: The Noble Art Of Self Destruction - 2023)

Heart in hand
Here I am
Without wax
I'm letting my guard down
I'm desperate to see
A new reflection of me

You've watched me love
You've watched me lose
Now watch me writhe on the floor
Is this what therapy's for?
Catch my guts as I talk

You've watched me win
You've watched me lose
Let me recover my corpse
Is this what therapy's for?
Catch my guts as I talk

My head's been a prison
Nobody should visit
I'm losing the will to go on
(I'm losing the will)

I locked myself inside a cell with my own sins
And every day's a different conviction
But if I end up losing myself to myself
I know somewhere that you
Will do your best to let me live again

You've watched my death and resurrection
Watch me roll with this stone
Everywhere that I go
A sadistic memento

That there's no shame in keeping track
Of the times you've been to hell and back
And, I wear this tally on my sleeve
As a reminder that I'll never leave

My head's been a prison
Nobody should live in
I'm losing the will to go on
(I'm losing the will)

I trapped myself inside a cell with my own sins
And every day's a different conviction
But if I end up losing myself to myself
I know somewhere that you
Will do your best to let me live again

My head's been a prison
Nobody should live in
I'm losing the will to go on
My head's been a prison
Nobody should live in
I'm losing the will to go on
I'm losing the will
