When I was a little kid

I just did what little kids did

Pray to God my soul to keep

Shut my eyes and drifted off to sleep

Soon there's nothing you can do

The stillness creeps all over you

Any night could be the last

Never know if this too shall pass

 

Solitary

Cell inside

Penitentiary

In my mind

Locked away

Discarded key

Good thing it's only

Temporary

I’m a prisoner

Inside my head

Like a statue lying

Lying in my bed

 

When I was a little kid

Didn't do what little kids did

Glitch in my genetic code

Momentary system overload

No matter how much I prepare

Always seems to catch me unaware

Any night could be the last

No telling if this too shall pass

 

I’m in a Solitary

Cell inside

Penitentiary

In my mind

Locked away

Discarded key

Good thing it's only

Temporary

I’m a prisoner

Inside my head

Like a statue lying

Lying in my bed

 

I been lying

Like a statue

In my bed
