Lyrics
Lock Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Cast a tear to the wind and watch it all fall apart,
Ring sides with the execution of heart,
Cause you should have seen it coming so you could play into the part instead of hiding under covers and throwing hope to the stars,
With a last wish,
You got a smile like a lashed whip,
Slashed open with a ticket for the last kiss,
Little lover with a dagger in your cracked ribs,
Trying to pull the battle out or leave in on a bad tip,
Laughing,
Cause nobody questions the clowns,
Till the paint washes off and the water weighing us down to the ground,
Picking the shattered pieces of crown with the bloody little holes left riddled in your brow,
When it broke open,
Leaving you out of reach,
With a mouthful of love songs scratching at your teeth,
Put the black cat back on it's feet,
And stop acting like you never had a chance to be free,
You're a prisoner now..
(Break me out of here, I'm freezing,
Chain me out of here, I am fleeting,
Break me out of here, I'm fading,
Rain made out of tears..)
Traffic, it's like a new age drug,
Stuck straight into the veins of your two-faced love,
They're dreaming it when you taste blood,
Gotta pass that lit torch with the blue flame up,
With a cross to bear,
Heavy metal with your black long breathing stuck,
No power for the last one leaving,
All your cracked words leaking out your mouth, now leaving you a blank slave looking for peace,
And all you wanted was a hideout right?
A nice place for you to learn that lie down and die while the time don't fly,
You should learn now that time don't slide,
In the direction of those tears pouring out your eyes,
You should have seen it,
Or felt it,
Traced around it's body with a felt tip,
And glue it to the joint of yourself,
That should have told you if it's closer to a heavenly hell,
Instead of forcing you to smile when the breath in you fails,
You're just a prisoner now..
(Break me out of here, I'm freezing,
Chain me out of here, I am fleeting,
Break me out of here, I'm fading,
Rain made out of tears..)
