blather
the_prison
whoknows i was high and dry
like the (something) sky
if i ached for anymore i knew id surely die
night after night trying to get out of my skin
day after lonely day
youd send me back again

CHORUS:
i have stood inside this prison
i have touched its stoney walls
i know before you try to run,
you gotta to learn to crawl
i tried to leave it all behind me
i drove all night just to drive all day
but the walls of this prison still surround me
and i cant break away

i held you so close i thought my soul would break
you were just a ghost
the holiest mistake
i will not be a judge or the one to set you free
ill just keep on driving
and times a friend to me

CHORUS

the sentence has been writ
everything is done
i wish i could say goodbye to you
wish i could hold the sun
my eyes are dull and burnt
and they lie to me sometimes
cuz i thought i saw you crying

i have stood inside this prison
i have touched its stoney walls
i know before you try to run
you gotta learn to crawl
i tried to leave it all behind me
IN MY DREAMS SOMEHOW I GOT AWAY
but the walls of this prison still surround me


and i...
cant break away

ClairE there are four walls
each its own side
an obstacle
a man sits with
his head in his hands
in the middle.
he has been there so long
he thinks he would really like a parrot.
a book would be good
but if it were offered to him
he'd lose interest by the entrance of the second main character.
