Another minute in the prison cell
And i'm losin' it
If there's a heaven then i'm stuck
Hell and i'm over it
Counting the scratches on a concrete
Wall and it added up
23 years of nothing but a dot dot dot
23 years and i am who i once was not
I'm lying in the dark but i'm not alone
Singing out my heart to a song i've never know
I'm free as i will ever be
Free as a melody.
I used to dream about the day
They'd say "you are free to leave"
I used to lay awake the whole
Damned night so i wouldn't dream
But now i'm sleeping like a free man
Traded his heart with me
Finally i remember every wasted night
I'm lying in the dark but i'm not alone
Singing out my heart to a song i've never know
I'm free as i will ever be
Free as a melody.
I'll take another day
I'll open my eyes
Find a better way
To live a better life
I'm free as i will ever be
Free as a melody.
