I color your outlook. I make your decisions. I grow larger each day. I’m building a prison.
Where youll be the inmate and I, the master. Follow my lead and Ill spare you disaster!

I will protect you; thats what Im about. If ever love hurts you, I’ll lock love out.
Should someone deceive you; I’ll keep trust away; You’ll never shed tears if you do what I say.

To hear mes to fear me for I have no cure; Each day you’ll do less, and I will do more.
Each time I hear you say NEVER AGAIN! I know that I have you! The inmates condemned!

One of lifes lost ones -- cradled by me; Afraid to take chances; afraid to be free;
Afraid of mistakes; of being alone; Too fearful to move; as rigid as stone.

Safe from all harm for the rest of your years; Sheltered from failure, regret, loss, and tears.
But I will sign for you, and carve on your stone; Here lies the person experience owned.

Im hiding inside you, but youll never find me! Your memories nutured, fed and designed me.
I color your outlook. I make your decisions. I grow larger each day. I’m building a prison.
Where youll be the inmate and I, the master. Follow my lead and Ill spare you disaster!

I will protect you; thats what Im about. If ever love hurts you, I’ll lock love out.
Should someone deceive you; I’ll keep trust away; You’ll never shed tears if you do what I say.

To hear mes to fear me for I have no cure; Each day you’ll do less, and I will do more.
Each time I hear you say NEVER AGAIN! I know that I have you! The inmates condemned!

One of lifes lost ones -- cradled by me; Afraid to take chances; afraid to be free;
Afraid of mistakes; of being alone; Too fearful to move; as rigid as stone.

Safe from all harm for the rest of your years; Sheltered from failure, regret, loss, and tears.
But I will sign for you, and carve on your stone; Here lies the person experience owned.
