Prisoner Scream



Prisoner Scream

A prisoner in this house condemned for incompetence
Why’d you break the social mold without conscience?
Can’t they see the scratches and strikes of trying to get out?
How often my faith has been broken, now I’m a token too confused to shout

Am I being tested or is this really an atheist reality?
Imprisoned by determined fate to fail at every gate
Faith is easy when you’re in the speakeasy
Atheism an easy ism when you’re feeling proud and are young

Then comes the dusk and I see the coming night
I look down and I’m on a beam of light unable to discern where’s the side of right
Crisis of mine, I can’t lean because I’m that prisoner not seen
So change or shift, no matter how I twist, I can only dream

But I yearn to get out finding my moon in this dark
To see the stars twinkle with happiness in my heart
Alas not yet and it feels like forever
So long have I been caught, I can’t even remember what it’s like to be tender
