I never thought I'd live to tell this tale today
Not in my wildest dreams could I predict it anyway
Just a social misfit with nothing much to do
At least I've had my interests
Cos now my life is through
And everything is getting darker now
I hope I can escape it some how
Some how

I can't see the lights outside
I can't seem to run and hide
Prisoner of something,
But I can't quite make it out
It casts a shadow on my thoughts
And leaves no trace of doubt

I feel the urge to break
To make a brand new start
But then I loose my mind, it's tearing me apart
Well here it comes again
I can feel it taking hold
Well here it comes again
Now the devil's got my soul

And everything is getting darker now
I hope I can escape it somehow
Some how

But I can't see the lights outside
But I can't seem to run and hide
Prisoner of something, but I can't quite make it out
It casts a shadow on my thoughts
And leaves no trace of doubt

(hey, hey, hey)

I never thought I'd live to tell this tale today
Not in my wildest dreams could I predict it anyway
Just a social misfit with nothing much to do
At least I've had my interests
Cos now my life is through
And everything is getting darker now
I hope I can escape it some how
Some how

But I can't see the lights outside
But I can't seem to run and hide
Prisoner of something, but I can't quite make it out
It casts a shadow on my thoughts
And leaves no trace of doubt

I can't see the lights outside
But I can't seem to run and hide
Prisoner of something, but I can't quite make it out
It casts a shadow on my thoughts
And leaves no trace of doubt
