What kind of place do I live in anyhow
Who gives a damn if I'm in or out
When do they run to see if I'm gonna stay down
I never ran like I do now

But I can't get out
No I can't get out
I'm a prisoner of fear
My time's running out
My faith's spilling out
I'm a prisoner of fear

I find my strength in the strangest places
Fleeting moments with fading faces
Home sweet home ain't so sweet no more
About as comfy as a liquor store

But I can't get out
No I can't get out
I'm a prisoner of fear
My time's running out
My faith's spilling out
I'm a prisoner of fear

So give me a quick way out
Something to laugh about
I can't take it no more
It hurts to think about
The time that I lost by now
Behind a bedroom door

I know what I did to end up in here
Fracture a rule when the cost is so dear
I dream of the night so peaceful and starry
But so you know I'm just down I'm not sorry

But I can't get out
No I can't get out
I'm a prisoner of fear
My time's running out
My faith's spilling out
I'm a prisoner of fear
