lyrics

prison paradise [01_06_2017]

so here it comes again
another star to rise up from the dark again
all hail to its song
and praise another day in my prison paradise

likely i don’t know the hour in my room
but it feels like the daylight is casting playful shadows
to throw my hope around and onto the moonlit ground

oh, it’s night i guess
so bright under these watchtower skies
and my gaze arrested into the light
this burn
it never felt so right

in this room
it feels all right i guess
so bright under these watchtower skies
all these marks decorating my days like art
to remind me how it’s been

so when am I free?
this beauty i’ll never leave

so here it comes
another star to rise again
in my lonely paradise
