lyrics
Verse 1
I can't eat, I can't sleep
I can't dream, I can't leave
I'm shackled and bound, trapped in the sound
Going round and round then down to the ground
I'm lost and exhausted, my thoughts are toxic
I can't stop the nausea, now I got to vomit
I promise, I'm not contagious
Just lost in the pages of aimless ages
But stop, wait, just for a second
While I catch my breath, I have a confession
The stress is less when I embrace the depression
My chest gets rest when I partake in obsession
Visualize the imagery, picture it vividly
Me hanging in a tree from a rope that's limiting
My air flow, but I won't dare choke
Cause I'm not scared, no I don't fear the arrow
Hook 1
You can lock me up, throw away the key
You can box me up, never let me free
You can throw me in the lion's den
With other dying men, but I'll survive and win
You can lock me up, throw away the key
You can box me up, never let me free
You can throw me in the lion's den
With other dying men, but I'll survive and win
Verse 2
The sun rises, the sun sets
No one cries, everyone forgets
Life goes on, the strife grows strong
The lights go off then the right turn wrong
And isn't it a mystery, how misery
Gets watered down when entered into history
Listen please to these words as they resonate and levitate
For heaven's sake, let them take you to a better place
See this life is a track circle, we try to get past hurdles
Some of us are fast learners, others commit mass murders
Cause they can't stand the pressure
This life will test your measure, so don't miss the lecture
Even if it seems hopeless, like hope is broken
Don't give up on dreams, no don't forget the notion
That just like the ocean, hope can bust open
Doors that were closed with one abrupt motion
Hook 2
You can lock me up, throw away the key
You can box me up, never let me free
You can throw me in the lion's den
With other dying men, but I'll survive and win
You can lock me up, throw away the key
You can box me up, never let me free
You can throw me in the lion's den
With other dying men, but I'll survive and win
Verse 3
See the key my friend is never give in
Never give up or you never gone' win
If you never begin then you'll never contend
Gotta get out, stop living within
I made myself free by design, free in my mind
Leave it behind, I can see though I'm blind
Walk through the line, don't get caught up in drama
Keep on as I leap through time
Forget the past, burn it to ash, and fast
Or it will last, move past the bull - ish
it's foolish, the truth is the path
Don't be stupid, life is to short to get caught up in that crying wind
Keep your head up, chest out, even if you lost within the lion's den
Hook 3
You can lock me up, throw away the key
You can box me up, never let me free
You can throw me in the lion's den
With other dying men, but I'll survive and win
You can lock me up, throw away the key
You can box me up, never let me free
You can throw me in the lion's den
With other dying men, but I'll survive and win
I can't eat, I can't sleep
I can't dream, I can't leave
I'm shackled and bound, trapped in the sound
Going round and round then down to the ground
