About Prisoner of Doubt

"Prisoner of Doubt" delves into the isolating and paralyzing effects of anxiety. This song is one of the more emotionally intense tracks on the album, capturing the internal battles that often go unseen. Simple tasks become monumental challenges, and there's a constant feeling of being trapped within my own mind.

The lyrics aim to articulate the silent struggle that many face with mental health issues. By bringing these feelings to the forefront, I hope to foster a sense of understanding and solidarity. The song doesn't offer easy solutions but does end on a note of resilience. Acknowledging the "strength I've yet to find" signifies a commitment to continue fighting and a belief in the possibility of overcoming these obstacles.

Lyrics

(Verse)
Shadows creep, the phone starts to ring
My heart's pounding, I can't do this thing
New day dawns, but I'm frozen in fear
The world's against me, that much seems clear

(Pre-chorus)
Gotta catch my breath, feels like I'm falling
No use in calling
Gotta catch my breath, feels like I'm falling - calling

(Chorus)
Trapped in my mind, a prisoner of doubt
Can't find the key, can't find my way out
Shadows and echoes, they're all that I see
This anxiety's got its claws in me

(Verse)
Car's my fortress, I sit and I wait
To face the world, I hesitate
Years have passed, no job to my name
In conversations, I'm drowning in shame

(Pre-chorus)
Gotta catch my breath, and uhm, depressed
Feels like I'm falling
Walls closing in, no use in calling

(Chorus)
Trapped in my mind, a prisoner of doubt
Can't find the key, can't find my way out
Shadows and echoes, they're all that I see
This anxiety's got its claws in me

(Verse)
Loneliness weighs like a stone
Vulnerability cuts to the bone
But somewhere deep inside
There's a strength I've yet to find

(Chorus)
Trapped in my mind, a prisoner of doubt
Can't find the key, can't find my way out
Shadows and echoes, they're all that I see
This anxiety's got its claws in me
But I'm fighting, yeah, I'm fighting to break free
