Locked Up

from Sick Nasty by the Haig

lyrics

I would – never – choose to – take the
Easy – way out – from this – failure
Sundown – in the – place where – we know
Sunup – is the – only – answer
Take now – give now – cycle – time crunch
Boredom – keeps you – freedom – eats you
Rusty – cages – could not – hold them
Why do – you think – they could – hold me

Torn and flayed
Lacerate
Workaday
All the same

Each of – us has – daemons – locked up
Tightly – where we – dare not – enter
Races – places – faces – spaces
Traces – of your – uncured – cancer
Tender – feelings – get in – the way
Of our – chances – at the – big stage
Push them – down and – lock them – up and
Let those – daemons – feast on – failures

Pot of prey
Set aflame
Adrenaline
Taste again

When you cut it away, will you feel it? I gotta know
Skin in a bag, is it real yet? Truth be told
When you cut it away, will you feel it? I gotta know

Take on – too much – all at – once and
Watch the – others - laugh to – gether
One more – project – creeping – steeping
Will it – ever – become – worthy
Every – ago – nizing – week it –
Sits there – with part – of your – being
Out of – your con – trol it – remains
Still your – love is – all it – contains

Lord and state
Bed unmade
Masticate
Dinner plate
