Sentimental Prison Songtext
von Joseph O'Brien

Passive tense and presently a goner
Got a man-made mess I can′t seem to escape
You give me an out, I make a counteroffer
I just don't deserve that kind of grace
Sell myself another set of chains

I′m in sentimental prison, sick of it
I built these walls of bad decisions brick by brick
Forgot I'm free to live and free to leave
Oh God, You hold the key
I'm already forgiven for livin′ in sentimental prison
In sentimental prison, oh

I find a new wound, find a reason
Make a nice bed, lie in it with my demons
Wearin′ my grief like a bad tattoo
Sitting here sinkin' in a sad, sad truth
All I got is all You want
But I keep thinkin′ You need better
'Til better breaks me down
Need You to bail me out of


Sentimental prison, sick of it
I built these walls of bad decisions brick by brick
Forgot I′m free to live and free to leave
Oh God, You hold the key
I'm already forgiven for livin′ in sentimental prison (uh, uh, uh, uh)
In sentimental prison, oh

Just as a chain knocks self down
Jesus, You break through my doubt
Whisperin' I got a new identity
When I'm accused by regret
It′s only You who can set me free

When I′m in sentimental prison, sick of it
I built these walls of bad decisions brick by brick
Forgot I'm free to live and free to leave
Oh God, You hold the key (hold the key)
I′m already forgiven for livin' (I′m forgiven)
Yes, I'm already forgiven for livin′ (I'm forgiven)
I'm already forgiven for livin′ (uuh)
In sentimental prison
In sentimental prison, oh

Free to live, free to leave
Free from sentimental prison
Oh, I′m free, free indeed
Free from sentimental prison
