Prison Eyes - Gideon

Wake me up

I’m stuck in this bad dream

I’m wide awake but I must be sleeping

Or over-thinking, sinking, hoping, wishing

That I’ll just find peace

(Help me) My reflection staring back at me (save me!)

Is this the man you always wanted to be?

Look at me looking back at me

Can I trust the man I see?

Behind these prison eyes

I find it hard to sleep (I find it hard to breathe)

With all the secrets that I keep

Behind these prison eyes

It took 3 long years for the floor to cave

It took 2 steps back to see you weren’t okay

It took 1 hard look in the mirror (it's clearer)

Now I count down the days until I go insane

I don’t feel safe inside my head anymore

Nothing’s the same as it was before

Trapped in my own skin!

My mind is racing, I can’t stop pacing, back and forth (back and forth)

I don’t feel safe inside my head anymore

Look at me looking back at me

Can I trust the man I see?

Behind these prison eyes

I find it hard to sleep (I find it hard to breathe)

With all the secrets that I keep

Behind these prison eyes

Look at me, looking back at me

Look at me, looking back at me

Haunted by old memories

Look at me, looking back at me

Look at me, looking back at me

God grant me some kind of peace

Wake me up!

Wake me up!

Look at me looking back at me

Can I trust the man I see?

Behind these prison eyes

I find it hard to sleep (I find it hard to breathe)

With all the secrets that I keep

Behind these prison eyes
