We Gave It Hell - Under Lock and Key Lyrics

We Gave It Hell – Under Lock and Key Lyrics

Reel me in
The hands around my throat
It’s inescapable
My sleeves hide the scars inside
These things I’ve left behind
Shrouded in shadows
Show me the way
You cannot kid yourself
You have all the time in the world
The mind is a dangerous thing

Distraction can only hold back a breakdown for so long
I hope, I search for just a moment of ecstasy
It keeps me hostage
A fight for sanity
I’m holding onto what I know
A pariah to myself
Tear down the walls I’ve had
This curse evolves again
I’m holding onto what I know
A pariah to myself

Trapped inside

I want to be the hollow man
Heartless and ignorant to all that surrounds
Anything to keep me from my thoughts

Pull me out
My vice is the silence
All the memories come back to me
A whirlwind of hatred for only myself
But that’s in the past now
I need to get out
The lights are approaching
Its my choice to let them go

It keeps me hostage
A fight for sanity
I’m holding onto what I know
A pariah to myself
Tear down the walls I’ve had
This curse evolves again
I’m holding onto what I know
A pariah to myself
