Another minute in this prison cell and i'm losin' it If there's a heaven then i'm stuck in hell and i'm over it Counting the scratches on a concrete wall and it added up 23 years and nothing but a dot dot dot 23 years and I am who I once was not I'm lying in the dark but I am not alone Singing out my heart to a song I've never known I'm free as I will ever be Free as a melody I used to dream about the day they'd say "you are free to leave" I used to lay awake the whole damned night so I wouldn't dream But now I'm sleeping like a free man traded his heart with me Finally I remember every wasted night I'm lying in the dark but I am not alone Singing out my heart to a song I've never known I'm free as I will ever be Free as a melody I'll take another day I'll open up my eyes Find a better way to lead a better life I'm free as I will ever be Free as a melody I'm lying in the dark but I am not alone Singing out my heart to a song I've never known I'm free as I will ever be Free I'll take another day I'll open up my eyes Find a better way to lead a better life I'm free as I will ever be Free as a melody
