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.
