Sentimental Prison – Joseph O’Brien Lyrics
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 living
In sentimental prison
In sentimental prison
I find a new room
Find a reason
Make a nicе bed
Lie in it with my demons
Wеaring my grief like a bad tattoo
Sitting here sinking in a sad, sad truth
All I’ve got is all You want
But I keep thinking 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 living
In sentimental prison
In sentimental prison
Just as I chain myself down
Jesus, You break through my doubt
Whispering 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 living (I’m forgiven)
Yes I’m already forgiven
For living (I’m forgiven)
I’m already forgiven
For living
In sentimental prison
In sentimental prison
Free to live, free to leave
Free from sentimental prison
Oh I’m free, free indeed
Free from sentimental prison
