St. Joker

A Shock Of Hope

St. Joker


These thoughts came again last night
When I was lying in bed
And even though it’s been so long
It still keeps me scared

The tv is on
Playing another song
Just another day of self-inflicted misery
Trying to conceal
Alcohol and pills
Can’t disguise the weakness growing up inside of me

The tv is on
Playing another song
It’s just another day of self-inflicted misery
Deep within the night
Under neon lights
Inside the mind, a monster just expecting to be free

I’m just a prisoner
Where there is no hope
I am a prisoner…

(It goes…)
Right through my veins
Pumping in my chest
Anxiety’s in my brain
What a chance

And in the dead of the night
We’re hunted by ghosts of our past
Do we die alone?
Why do we die alone?

I’m just a prisoner
Where there is no hope
I am a prisoner…

(It goes…)
Right through my veins
Pumping in my chest
Anxiety’s in my brain
What a chance
