lyrics

Lock the door, leave the world behind
Don't follow the sorrow
Armed with a spoon but with an axe to grind
Don't borrow their sorrow
Go away I don't want to play the blame game
On another day you may have your say
But I know you and see through you

Time heals, and time takes pieces of me
Lines break, and others create a bridge out of here
Who put, our lives on display?
who put, your lives on parade?

Lock the door, leave the world behind
Don't follow the sorrow
Armed with a spoon but with an axe to grind
Don't follow the sorrow
Go away I don't want to play the blame game
On another day you may have your say
But I know you and see through you

You struck a deal
You were made to feel righteous again
Now you're someone else
But you used to be able to think for yourself

What you gotta say about it?
and what you gonna do about it?
What you gotta say about it?
and what you gonna do about it?

Lock the door, shut the world away
On another day you may have your say

What you gotta say about it?
and what you gonna do about it?
What you gotta say about it?
and what you gonna do about it?
