The Prisoner Lyrics
You have watched me, safe in your anonymity
I have dreamed you, held in your security
Some people believe a photograph traps your mortal soul
Your eyes are the camera and you've taken holdAnd you captured me
I need you to take control
I am a prisoner of no confidence
You've entered me now make me wholeEvery place I go, I feel your lenses trained on me
This distant concentration takes away my energy
Your image burns it's negative behind my waking eyes
Then the night comes and you stalk your prizeAnd you captured me
I need you to take control
I am a prisoner of no confidence
You've entered me now make me wholeSome people believe a photograph traps your mortal soul
Your eyes were the camera and you've taken holdAnd you captured me
I need you to take control
I am a prisoner of no confidence
You've entered me now make me whole
