Thrice - Lockdown lyrics
[Thrice - Lockdown lyrics]
Once you were free and you stretched
Out your wings to the sky
Sky was the limit, cap on your creativity
Team against team could we even the score
Our hearts kept the rhythm
That forbidden beat
Your talons now grip like steel to
The weight they chained you to
Two in the morning
You can't hear the rumbling train
Trained not to think or question anything
The chains that had bound
You are now obsolete
Please open your eyes
Everything they told you was a lie
Think for yourself won't you even try
To look past all of those lies
Think for yourself think for yourself
For generations the answer has always been no
No one remembers and nobody cares to ask
Asking a question is deemed criminal
And slowly the silence grows
On the growing list of the mindless
By your name a check
Checkmate the situation if we
All toe the line
Line up and never open up your eyes
And don't even think about raising your voice
Please open your eyes
Everything they told you was a lie
Think for yourself won't you even try
To look past all of those lies
Think for yourself think for yourself
Leave your mind without thought
(they fill it) identity erased
Place refuse in your sight (you swill it)
Well it seems they got you bound
(bound tight)
Yeah it seems they got you beat
The chains that held you down (you down)
They now hang obsolete
Out your wings to the sky
Sky was the limit, cap on your creativity
Team against team could we even the score
Our hearts kept the rhythm
That forbidden beat
Your talons now grip like steel to
The weight they chained you to
Two in the morning
You can't hear the rumbling train
Trained not to think or question anything
The chains that had bound
You are now obsolete
Please open your eyes
Everything they told you was a lie
Think for yourself won't you even try
To look past all of those lies
Think for yourself think for yourself
For generations the answer has always been no
No one remembers and nobody cares to ask
Asking a question is deemed criminal
And slowly the silence grows
On the growing list of the mindless
By your name a check
Checkmate the situation if we
All toe the line
Line up and never open up your eyes
And don't even think about raising your voice
Please open your eyes
Everything they told you was a lie
Think for yourself won't you even try
To look past all of those lies
Think for yourself think for yourself
Leave your mind without thought
(they fill it) identity erased
Place refuse in your sight (you swill it)
Well it seems they got you bound
(bound tight)
Yeah it seems they got you beat
The chains that held you down (you down)
They now hang obsolete
