A prison can be found in the confines of a 3 million dollar mansion
A prison can be found in the interior of the latest Ferrari model
Prisons are all around
What keeps you from chasing after your dreams?
That’s your prison
Who controls your mind?
They are your prison warden
Why did you never believe you could fly?
A prison is waiting there for you…on that island that surrounds that lie
You know the one
You heard it from the time you could understand
You came here to be free
And some one stole the sparkle from your eyes
Some one chopped off the tail to your kite
Telling you it wasn’t long or short enough…and you believed them…
Some one said you sucked at singing
That your voice is flatter than a pan cake
And you chose not to let your vocal chords sing another note
Some one told you couldn’t dream great dreams
So you chose to live a night mare
Some one told you you’re too poor to make your dreams come true
That only the rich are allowed to dream…you believed them…
All you had to do was reject the bullshit lies
But you went on and embraced them instead
You chose a prison to spend all of your days in
You chose to line your pockets with money
So you wouldn’t have to live feeling the pain of the lie
You have friends, but you hate them all
You have people who need your help
And you hate them too
There are people who love you
And you can’t receive their love because you don’t allow yourself visitors inside your self- made prison
