I was the lock I was the key I wear the calm like a costume But it never fits right I keep a war in the silence And a smile in the light I made a home out of damage I made a bed out of blame I kept looking for a reason With my mouth full of names I thought the weight would leave If I gave it time Then something in the quiet said The life you want is mine No one can live it for me No one can bleed in my skin I keep dragging the shadow Back in again I can wait for the ending Or become what I need No one can live it for me No one but me I blamed the shape of the system I blamed the names on the screen But every chain that I hated Had a place in me I kept begging for freedom While I buried the plan I kept asking for rescue With the key in my hand No one can live it for me No one can bleed in my skin I keep dragging the shadow Back in again I can wait for the ending Or become what I need No one can live it for me No one but me Maybe all the doors were open Maybe I was scared to see That the hand around my throat Was attached to me No one can breathe for me now No one can tear this out of me No one can live it for me No one can bleed in my skin I keep dragging the shadow Back in again I can wait for the ending Or become what I need No one can live it for me No one but me I was the lock I was the key
