The Prisoner - Parabelle

What a mess, she said you were

She thought of self-control

As a crutch, not essential

You fly like you fall

It’s too dark to notice you’re gone

I’m a traitor and you are my company

If this is what you meant, I’m insulted

Behind assaulted scenes, I could swear you wait for me

If I was a ransom, you’d be what a pays it

If I was the coldest cell, you’d be the prisoner

(Don't close your eyes)

I’m in the midst of saying

That I’ll never be the one keep sidelined

Never seen you look so much brighter

You can doubt the form that’s inside of me

You choke, you’re the victim, don’t trust your eyes

You’re certain to believe in something you can’t see

If I was a ransom, you’d be what a pays it

If I was a colder cell, you’d be the prisoner

If I had emotion, you’d be so taken

If I wasn’t cold as hell, you’d be the prisoner

And if we must, we will adjust

And make up stories we can tell

Here you are

Do you need an invite again

I’m blessed to know you are too loud again

Don’t close you eyes, don’t close your eyes now

Pride attacks and it regains that trap

And the clouds say you can hang from them

Pull it down, pull it from my cuts

Let’s paint ourselves

If I was a ransom, you’d be what a pays it

If I was a colder cell, you’d be the prisoner

If I had emotion, you’d be so taken

If I wasn’t cold as hell, you’d be the prisoner

And if we must, we will adjust

And make up stories we can tell
