lyrics

Landlocked

A dream sleeps within the body
motives motionless like a rock
wooden skeletons may grow slowly
finding enough courage just to knock

to turn a spiral staircase inside out
move both feet forward, twist and shout
kindly say goodnight to the pillows
audio sensitive, listen for the willows
I'm a hard drive just waiting to die
overheating and turned on all the time
a virus can creep inside my eyes
eat a hole through what i despise

I'm landlocked
4 sides, I'm inside
I'm landlocked
with barriers, cold carriers
I'm landlocked
4 sides, I'm inside
I'm landlocked
sacrifice amplifies

loose the lack of intuition
for every year that moves by
feeling brave is no longer fiction
I've misplaced everything as i tried
taken for a ride in a static slide
hold my breath and swim to shore
moving both my arms and lift myself
out of the merky water
where i was born, and I'm a hero
waiting to die, no need for a legacy to survive
the modest can see inside the hive
and grab the queen and all her supplies

I'm landlocked
4 sides, I'm inside
I'm landlocked
with barriers, cold carriers
I'm landlocked
4 sides, I'm inside
I'm landlocked
sacrifice amplifies
