My Own Prison (Radio Edit / Remastered 2025)

Court is in session, a verdict is in
No appeal on the docket today, just my own sin
The walls, cold and pale
The cage made of steel
Screams fill the room, alone I drop and kneel

(And I said, "Oh") so I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
(And I said, "Oh") all held captive, out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We, the meek, are all in one

I hear a thunder in the distance
See a vision of a cross
I feel the pain that was given on that sad day of loss
A lion roars in the darkness, only he holds the key
A light to free me from my burden and grant me life eternally

Should have been dead on a Sunday morning
Banging my head
No time for mourning, ain't got no time

Should have been dead on a Sunday morning
Banging my head
No time for mourning, ain't got no time

(And I said, "Oh") so I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
(And I said, "Oh") all held captive, out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We, the meek, are all in one

I cry out to God seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and confirms, I've created my own prison
I cry out to God seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and confirms, I've created my own prison

(And I said, "Oh") so I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
(And I said, "Oh") all held captive, out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We, the meek, are all in one

(And I said, "Oh") we're held captive (I created, I created)
Out from the sun (I created)
A sun that shines on only some (I created, I created)
We, the meek, are all in one (I created my own prison)

Should've been dead on a Sunday morning
Banging my head
No time for mourning, ain't got no time
