"My Own Prison" is a song by Creed and the titular lead single from their 1997 debut album, My Own Prison. Vocalist Scott Stapp wrote the lyrics about his struggles with life at a time when he was questioning his religious faith. He realized he had created a prison within his own mind. Stapp sings all of the song except for the chorus, which Creed's guitarist Mark Tremonti sings. The single peaked at #2 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and #7 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. A music video was also made for the song.
