Prisoner of his state of mind
Another song in the key of Dm
A tear fell from Heavens eye
On a young man barely getting by
He looked up above then looked to the ground
A puddle of blues was all he found
Started him thinkin` about the way it was
Like to change if he only could
Dreams he had, of long ago
Never led him to his pot of gold
The life he shared, and the love he gave
Never was enough to get him saved
Lost his family and lost his friends
Never to return again
Under the spell of the devils gun
Nowhere to hide, it’s in his blood
He’d like to run, but can’t go far
Imprisoned by self-inflicted bars
Chorus:
Prisoner of his state of mind, as dreams fell from his clouded eyes
It’s hard to stand when you’re on your knees,
Through bloodshot eyes – you just can’t see
It’s all been wasted time, he’s a prisoner of his state of mind
Can’t break free he’s just doing time
Another shot from the needle, a senseless crime
Round and round it never ends
Never stops it just starts again
From the heated spoon, to the tremblin` arm
He never could understand the harm
Now he looks in the mirror and sees someone
Under the spell of the devils gun
Chorus:
Bridge:
Another tear fell from Heavens eye
On a young man, who finally died
Couldn’t live with one foot in the ground
Another lost soul – who couldn’t be found
Chorus:
A tear fell from Heavens eye
On a young man barely getting by
He looked up above then looked to the ground
A puddle of blues was all he found
Started him thinkin` about the way it was
Like to change if he only could
Dreams he had, of long ago
Never led him to his pot of gold
The life he shared, and the love he gave
Never was enough to get him saved
Lost his family and lost his friends
Never to return again
Under the spell of the devils gun
Nowhere to hide, it’s in his blood
He’d like to run, but can’t go far
Imprisoned by self-inflicted bars
Chorus:
Prisoner of his state of mind, as dreams fell from his clouded eyes
It’s hard to stand when you’re on your knees,
Through bloodshot eyes – you just can’t see
It’s all been wasted time, he’s a prisoner of his state of mind
Can’t break free he’s just doing time
Another shot from the needle, a senseless crime
Round and round it never ends
Never stops it just starts again
From the heated spoon, to the tremblin` arm
He never could understand the harm
Now he looks in the mirror and sees someone
Under the spell of the devils gun

On a young man, who finally died
Couldn’t live with one foot in the ground
Another lost soul – who couldn’t be found
