My Own Prison - Live at Freeman Coliseum / 1999 Creed

[Intro: Scott Stapp]
I think you know this song
If you know it, I wanna hear you singin' it, every word
This song started off with this band, and for that, we thank you

[Verse 1: Scott Stapp]
A court is in session, a verdict is in
No appeal on the docket today, just my own sin
The walls, cold and pale, the cage, made of steel
Screams fill the room, alone, I drop and kneel
Silence, now the sound, my breath, the only motion around
Demons cluttering around my face, showing no emotion
Shackled by my sentence, expecting no return
Here, there is no penance, my skin begins to burn

[Chorus: Scott Stapp, Mark Tremonti]
(And I said, oh) So, I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside (Oh-oh)
Which only fuels their selfish pride (Oh, yeah)
(And I said, oh) We're all held captive out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some (Oh-oh)
We, the meek, are all in one (Oh, yeah)

[Verse 2: Scott Stapp]
I hear a thunder in the distance, see a vision of a cross
I feel the pain that was given on that sad day of loss
A lion roars in the darkness, only he holds the key
A light to free me from my burden and grant me life eternally
