Mind Is a Prison

I don't live in California, I'll inform youThat's not where I resideI'm just a tenant, paying rent inside this body and IGot two windows, and those windowsWell, I call them my eyesI'm just going where the wind blows, I don't get to decideSometimes, I think too much, yeahI get so caught upI'm always stuck in my headI wish I could escape, I tried to yesterdayTook all the sheets off my bedThen I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I foundScaled the side of the buildingI ran to the hills 'til they found meAnd they put me back in my cell, all by myselfAlone with my thoughts againGuess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get outSo they tranquilized me, analyzed meThrew me back in my cageThen they tied me to an IV, told me I was insaneI'm a prisoner, a visitor inside of my brainAnd no matter what I do, they try to keep me in chainsSometimes, I think to much, yeah, I get so caught upI'm always stuck in my headI wish I could escape, I tried to yesterdayTook all the sheets off my bedThen I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I foundScaled the side of the buildingI ran to the hills 'til they found meAnd they put me back in my cell, all by myselfAlone with my thoughts againGuess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get outSaid even if it's true, no matter what I doI'm never gonna escapeI won't give up on hope, secure another ropeAnd try for another daySaid even if it's true, no matter what I doI'm never gonna escapeI won't give up on hope, secure another ropeAnd try for another dayThen I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I foundScaled the side of the buildingI ran to the hills 'til they found meAnd they put me back in my cell, all by myselfAlone with my thoughts againGuess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out
