The part no longer
Has the ring of truth
You cast the spells
But leave the books on the shelves
Stepping out of the frame
But no one detects
Backing down the stairs
Looking just long enough to know
It's locked away
All blurry eyed
They're getting frayed at the sides
Windows painted on walls
They've started screening their calls
Stepping back in the shade
How it used to be
Another instant replayed
It's locked away
Always cast against type
But no one detects
How the light looks tonight
Or just who it protects
When it shines so bright
I always close my eyes
When it shines so bright
It's blacking out life
It's locked away
