Lovely Prison
Sometimes I wonder
If you really understand.
You say that you do,
But you won’t take my hand.
I’ll try to make you happy,
Explain my point of view.
But nothing I say seems
To get through to you.
And I know you can’t help it,
But I’m so afraid
That some day you’ll cave in;
Escape from your cage.
A prison of flesh
Is your biggest fear.
But your prison of flesh
Is what keeps us near…
If you really understand.
You say that you do,
But you won’t take my hand.
I’ll try to make you happy,
Explain my point of view.
But nothing I say seems
To get through to you.
And I know you can’t help it,
But I’m so afraid
That some day you’ll cave in;
Escape from your cage.
A prison of flesh
Is your biggest fear.
But your prison of flesh
Is what keeps us near…
