sonnerie téléphone portable pour The prison

I was high and dry like the kansas sky
If i ached for any more i knew i'd surely die
Night after night, trying to get out of my skin
Day after lonely day, you'd send me back again

I have stood inside this prison
I have touched its stony walls
I know before you try to run
You gotta learn to crawl

I tried to leave it all behind me
I drove all night just to drive all day
But the walls of this prison still surround me
And i can't break away

I held you so close, i thought my soul would break
But you were just a ghost, the holiest mistake
I will not be a judge or the one to set you free
I'll just keep on drivin' and time's a friend to me

I have stood inside this prison
I have touched its stony walls
I know before you try to run
You gotta learn to crawl

I tried to leave it all behind me
I drove all night, i drove all day
But the walls of this prison still surround me
And i can't break away

The sentence has been read everything is done
I wish i could say goodbye to you, wish i could hold the sun
My eyes are dull and burnt and they lie to me sometimes
'cause i thought i saw you cryin'

I have stood inside this prison
I have touched its stony walls
I know before you try to run
You gotta learn to crawl

I tried to leave it all behind me
In my dreams somehow i got away
But the walls of this prison still surround me
And i can't break away
