lyrics

Sitting waiting watching out the window
While he argues with the voices in his head
I don't think he'd ever go outside to face the world
If he listened to a single word they said

Today he couldn't be his own companion
Or even walk a mile in his own shoes
Wrapped up with four familiar walls around him
Stuck inside those sanctuary blues

He's got both hands wrapped around a bottle
And he can't convince himself to put it down
The angel on his shoulder is now the devil in his mind
This afternoon he wants to watch them drown

Today he couldn't be his own companion
Or even walk a mile in his own shoes
Wrapped up with four familiar walls around him
Stuck inside those sanctuary blues

He'll put himself on trial in the morning
And when the judge's verdict's handed down
He'll finally take a little bit of his freedom
And make it almost all the way to town

Today he couldn't be his own companion
Or even walk a mile in his own shoes
Wrapped up with four familiar walls around him
Stuck inside those sanctuary blues
