Prisoner of my Soul

Tormented soul
Don't come near me
Stop walking around
Pretending not to hear me

I've a prisoner of my own
I've been locked up
The fault is my own
I've got to let go

What do I long for
that I've tuned out so long ago?
I wear a mask I can no longer throw away
once I've put it on it wants to stay

I let go of my future
I let go of my past
I don't know what you'll do
But I have my own path
