VERSE 1

Locked inside this twisted play

Roles we chose can't turn away

Uniforms and chains we bear

Broken minds begin to tear

Guard or prisoner, who's to blame?

Lost our names and found our shame

Silence screams in empty halls

Fading souls, lifeless calls

BRIDGE 1

Cracks in reason, truth distorts

Control is just a hollow force

No escape, the lines are blurred

VERSE 2

Once we laughed, now shadows fall

Power's grip we can't recall

Freedom fades, a ghostly dream

Trapped within this mindless scheme

Behind these masks emotions broke

Lines we drew began to choke

Who we are, monsters inside

Shattered pieces left behind

BRIDGE 2

What we’ve become, we can’t erase

Power turns to empty space

No one left to take the blame

CHORUS

We play the prisoner's game

All the madness feels the same

In the dark we'll call your name

No more masks to hide the shame

We play the prisoner's game

The war inside drives you insane

Show no reason, take no blame

Bound by rules that feed the flame

SOLO

MIDDLE EIGHT

Now the lines are etched in skin

Can’t return to who we’ve been

We became what we despised

Truth and lies forever tied

Lost the key, forgot the door

Who we were exists no more

BRIDGE 3

Shattered dreams we can't restore

Voices lost, we're heard no more

In this game, no-one wins

CHORUS

We play the prisoner's game

All the madness feels the same

In the dark they'll call your name

No more masks to hide the shame

We play the prisoner's game

The war inside drives you insane

The field of science takes no blame

Breaking minds to stake a claim
