You are stripping apart
everything inside my broken heart.
Trying harder to get by.
Each day you push me back into hate.
Is this going to be my fate?

   (Lock me down)
   Cannot lift my head
   (Shut me down)
   Cannot get ahead
   (Lock me)
   Lock me down
   Lock me, down

Tripping on the broken promises,
All of your fucked up choices.
Nothing to do but complain
about what this life has handed you,
then make it hard for me too.

   (Lock me down)
   Cannot get past here
   (Hold me down)
   Cannot escape fear
   (Lock me)
   Lock me down
   Lock me, down.
   Down down down
   You fucker, yeah!

Trying harder to get by
But growing wings still won't help you fly.
Shout at me because you fail,
Force yourself and me into this pain
Nothing to do but complain.
Complain, complain, complain...
Rrrrr...Shut Up!

   (Lock me down)
   Cannot see the lies
   (Keep me down)
   Cannot dry my eyes
   (Lock me, lock me)
   Lock me, lock me
   lock me, lock me,
   down.
