lirik lagu the mommyheads - prisoners
we’re prisoners of an ancient war
we’re fragments of forgotten lore
metal gates hang from our limbs
they swing without, they swing within
concrete walls steal our breath
’cause we forgot to pay our debt
we’re prisoners of an open sky
in gl-ss cubes piled high
no scent of the wild trees
no fruit underneath our leaves
nature’s in short supply
no chance to say goodbye
the keys dangle from the warden’s belt
freedom’s seen but never felt
you scale the bars for every speck of light
skeletal cheerleaders on megaphones
they suck the will out of your bones
you’re on your knees for every fallen crumb
what have we become?
is it just me, why can’t we see
we’re prisoners who believe they’re free
we’re prisoners that the world forgot
we’re strung up tight in a human knot
hunger strikes drown every temper
searchlights dig up every ember
god is all that you remember
when you forgot to make your peace
distorted and out of range
we’re strangers on an empty train
lick your lips but there’s no taste
repet-tion’s now your faith
praying for that warm embrace
and no chance to break away
random moans replace your speech
a list of demands hang from your leash
you’re half asleep in a twilight fix
cadaver bones fill up your body
a stranger’s thoughts become your hobby
anesthesia flows from every vein
why do we run from our pain?
is it just me, why can’t we see
we’re just prisoners who believe they’re free
