Living my life,
Going to school,
And then suddenly,
Planes fly into the towers...
What's going on?
That same week,
Whenever I sleep,
I find myself
Having nightmares that seem
real--
And I cannot speak.
******Chorus***********
I'm in a prison of pain,
My body's a prison of pain,
Everything I do---
There's no escape.
Can you help me now?
I'm in a prison of pain,
My body's a prison of pain,
Everything I do---
There's no escape.
Is it hopeless now?
***********************
The voices I can hear,
The fire I can feel
I cannot flee,
While intruders torture me,
What's happening?
Someone tells a joke,
Instantly I laugh,
And then suddenly,
I collapse to the floor,
It's the weirdest thing.
**Chorus**
Everywhere I hurt,
Whenever I move,
I feel the pain.
There's a fire that never stops.
And I don't know why.
Fatigue takes over,
Depression sets in...
I watch my dreams-
Become figments of imagination.
Why is life so grim?
**Chorus**
****Break****
Every time I think I might escape,
I realize who's in charge.
Narcolepsy and Fibromyalgia--
They're my prison's bars.
*******************
**Chorus**
Is this a dream?
Will I wake up?
I'm trapped inside,
No longer able to drive or work...
Can't make ends meet.
This situation--
it's tough to deny,
My body's in charge,
But my will, it surely survives!
I'll persevere.
**Chorus**
This prison of pain
It drives me insane.
Help me get out--
And help me to survive.
Thank God for you.
Amen.
