Lockdown - Grieves

The air is freezing

My mind is fading

I can’t breathe

Cast a tear to the wind and watch it all fall apart

Ring side on the execution of heart

Cause you shoulda seen it coming so you could play into the part

Instead of hiding under the covers and throwing hope to the stars with a last

wish

You’ve 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 and leave it on a bad tip, laugh

Cause nobody questions the clown 'til the paint washes off and the water

weighing us down to the ground

Picking shattered pieces of the crown out that bloody little holes left

whittled in your brow

When it broke open, leaving you out of reach, with a mouth full of love songs

scratching at your teeth

Put the black cat back on his feet, and stop acting like you never had a chance

to be free

You’re a prisoner now

Break me outta here I’m freezing

Chain made out of fear

I am fleeting

Break me outta here, I’m fading

Rain made out of tears

Tragedy, its like a new age drug stuck straight into the veins of your

two-faced love

Day dreamin' of when you taste blood, and get to pass that lit torch with the

blue flame up

With a cross to bare, heavy metal with your black lung breathin', stuck

No power for the last one leaving, all your cracked words leaking out your mouth

Now leaving you a blank slate looking for peace, and all you wanted was a hide

out right?

A nice place for you to learn to lie down and die when 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 its body with a felt tip,

and glue its image onto your self

They shoulda told you its closer to a heavenly hell

Instead of forcing you to smile when the breath in you failed

You’re just a prisoner now

Break me outta here I’m freezing

Chain made out of fear

I am fleeting

Break me outta here, I’m fading

Rain made out of tears

I can’t breathe
