lyrics

I’ve a prisoner’s dilemma
stuck inside this place
there is no change in my day
to help me ease the pain

♪ ♫ I’ve a prisoner’s dilemma
with desires to be free
but these walls prevent my escape
And the guards watch over me ♪ ♫

♫ Watching, from head to feet
Stuck behind these bars
Waiting to serve my time
And walk out in the sun ♫

♪ ♫ I study these walls each day
every crack and crease
I search for hope inside of me
Please give me some relief ♫ ♪

♫ I’ve a prisoner’s dilemma
My heart's a battle zone
I long for some sweet company
Hide my face so I’m alone ♫

♪ ♫ I’ve a prisoner’s dilemma
Can’t feel good about my state
I wonder if they’ll be a chance
Of hope to change my fate
I’ve a prisoner’s dilemma…lemma…lemma ♫ ♪

♫ ♪ Prisoner, I'm trapped
Trapped and held in chains
Prisoner, I'm trapped
God a number not a name
Prisoner's dilemma...lemma...lemma
I've a prisoner's dilemma...lemma...lemma ♫ ♪

♪ ♫ I've a prisoner's dilemma
Despair and misery
I wonder if there’s any hope
That I will be set free
I’ve a prisoner’s dilemma…lemma…lemma ♪ ♫
