Shepherd - Prisoners Lyrics

Ridiculed by my own mind
While on the outside serenity they find
Strip away my mask of pride
And see the terror unfold in my life
Where freedom sees no light
Here the darkness consumes my sight
The idea of living a life
Has now become my way of life

Isolated
The shame I've lived with trapped inside these walls
I am a slave to my vices
I am a slave to my vices
This carnal mind
Living to please the master of desires
I am a slave to my vices
I am a slave to my vices

I am a prisoner

You wouldn't live in the same way
You wouldn't hold regrets I've made
The lack of closure from a saving grace
Wouldn't pave the way through all of my mistakes
So don't drag me through my grave

The ashes of my past are haunting
Shielding me from every ounce of hope
No truth I am blinded by regret
Leaves my future with suffering

See through each past heartache
Let me go and be in peace

You wouldn't live in the same way
You wouldn't hold regrets I've made
The lack of closure from a saving grace
Wouldn't pave the way through all of my mistakes
So don't drag me through my grave

Now from the dust I was born
Back to the dust I will return
I am a prisoner to life
But sacrifice set me free
