Prison Walls
Breaking Chains: Unveiling the Inner Struggle in City Island's 'Prison Walls'
Lyrics
This tiny room is painted red again
This confined space is colored red once more.
And my aggression has become self-evident
My anger or hostility has become evident to me.
I'm not the one to let it conquer me
I refuse to let this anger overpower me.
But there's a fire burning underneath
However, there's a passionate intensity burning within.
I'm afraid of my mind again
I am once again scared of my thoughts.
When it wears my body thin
These thoughts exhaust or weaken my physical being.
These prison walls are surrounding me
I feel trapped within these enclosing prison walls.
No, this is not the man I want to be
I am not satisfied with the person I have become in this situation.
This tiny room has asked too much of me
This confined space has demanded too much from me.
But there's a promise that I must keep
Yet, there's a commitment I must uphold.
I'm not gon' to let it conquer me
I am determined not to let this overpower me.
But there's a fire burning underneath
Nevertheless, there's an intense passion burning within.
I'm afraid of my mind again
I am once again frightened by my thoughts.
When it wears my body thin
These thoughts exhaust or weaken my physical being.
These prison walls are surrounding me
I feel trapped within these enclosing prison walls.
No, this is not the man I want to be
I am not content with the person I have become in this situation.
Ooh oh oh
Expressive vocalization indicating emotional turmoil.
Ooh oh oh (Won't you please listen now)
Repeated expressive vocalization with a plea for attention.
I'm afraid of my mind again
I am once again scared of my thoughts.
When it wears my body thin
These thoughts exhaust or weaken my physical being.
These prison walls are surrounding me
I feel trapped within these enclosing prison walls.
No, this is not the man I want to be
I am not satisfied with the person I have become in this situation.
These prison walls are surrounding me
I feel confined within these enclosing prison walls.
This is not the man I want to be
I am discontent with the person I have become in this situation.
