Invisible Bars

[Verse 1]
Four walls painted in a shade of gray I watch the shadow move across the floor all day The clock is ticking but the hands don't move I’m just a needle stuck in the same old groove Window is open but the air is stale Every ambition feels too weak to scale I trace the cracks running down the plaster Running from a silence that is running faster

[Chorus]
There are no locks upon the door But I can't leave here anymore It’s in the blood, it’s in the mind A sentence that I never signed Invisible bars, invisible chains Circling the drain in the pouring rain I scream for an exit, I scream for a light But I’m just a prisoner of the night

[Verse 2]
I see the people walking on the street below They got a rhythm, they got somewhere to go I try to shout but the voice is dead Just an echo ringing inside my head The routine is iron, the habit is steel I’ve forgotten exactly how it’s supposed to feel To walk a mile without a tether To stand outside in the stormy weather

[Chorus]
There are no locks upon the door But I can't leave here anymore It’s in the blood, it’s in the mind A sentence that I never signed Invisible bars, invisible chains Circling the drain in the pouring rain I scream for an exit, I scream for a light But I’m just a prisoner of the night

[Bridge]
Maybe the key is in my hand Maybe I just don't understand That the cage is built of fear and bone And I built this cell all on my own I built this cell all on my own Let me out Let me out!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
There are no locks upon the door But I can't leave here anymore It’s in the blood, it’s in the mind A sentence that I never signed Invisible bars, invisible chains Circling the drain in the pouring rain I scream for an exit, I scream for a light But I’m just a prisoner of the night

[Outro]
Just a prisoner Yeah, just a prisoner No way out No way out (Fade to feedback)
