Lock It Away

Slow nu metal, alternative, layered, reverb, aggressive drums, heavy basslines, male vocals

Verse 1
They say I need therapy,
Doesn't everybody?
Living in a cage of thoughts,
Lost in my own memory.
Is it normal? Can’t recall,
Fragments fade, the shadows call.
I bury pain like a buried treasure,
But it’s a curse, not a pleasure.
Pre-Chorus
I’m screaming in silence,
Drowning in my past.
A ghost of a child,
Trapped in shadows cast.
Chorus
Lock it away, lock it inside,
Don’t wanna feel the darkness rise.
What if it breaks free, what if I fall?
I can’t control the monster at all.
Lock it away, keep it at bay,
Dancing with demons when I’m led astray.
I’ll wear this mask, keep it concealed,
In this battle of minds, my fate is sealed.
Verse 2
Memories haunt like a thief in the night,
Fleeting echoes, can’t hold them tight.
They say face your fears, but what if I break?
What if the darkness is all that I make?
I’m shackled to silence, chained to the past,
A prisoner of moments that never last.
Digging deeper, but I’m scared to find,
The truth in the shadows that's twisted my mind.
Pre-Chorus
I’m screaming in silence,
Drowning in my past.
A ghost of a child,
Trapped in shadows cast.
Chorus
Lock it away, lock it inside,
Don’t wanna feel the darkness rise.
What if it breaks free, what if I fall?
I can’t control the monster at all.
Lock it away, keep it at bay,
Dancing with demons when I’m led astray.
I’ll wear this mask, keep it concealed,
In this battle of minds, my fate is sealed.
Bridge
(Spoken Word)
They say healing’s just a step away,
But what if the light reveals the decay?
What if I shatter, what if I scream?
What if the darkness is all that I dream?
(Heavy Instrumentation)
I’ll fight with the shadows,
I’ll claw at the pain.
But I won’t let you in,
I’ll never be sane.
Lock it away, in the corners of my mind,
A prison of secrets that I’ll never unwind.
Chorus
Lock it away, lock it inside,
Don’t wanna feel the darkness rise.
What if it breaks free, what if I fall?
I can’t control the monster at all.
Lock it away, keep it at bay,
Dancing with demons when I’m led astray.
I’ll wear this mask, keep it concealed,
In this battle of minds, my fate is sealed.
Outro
Lock it away,
Lock it away,
Drowning in silence,
I’ll keep it at bay.
Lock it away,
Lock it away,
In the shadows I’ll stay,
And keep the darkness at bay.
