  3. Locked from the Inside

Locked from the Inside

The door was real
The lock was kind
We let it click
Called it divine
But hinges whined
Like breaking bones,
And no one moved
No one lied
No chains, no saints
Just your guilt in my veins
And the clock
That isn't there
We locked it
From the inside
Built these walls
Then prayed for knives
No key, no crime
Just the slow, wet sound
Of our tongues
Swallowing time
I watched you blink
You called it choice
We begged for mirrors
You gave us your voice
Now the air grows thick
With every why
We chew and chew
But never bite
No trap
No fate
Just you...
And me...
And the way we
Caress this lock
With hungry eyes
Locked
From
Inside
The door's gone
We ate the hinges
These walls taste soft
They taste like your last excuse
We stay
You stay
I...
Key was in our hands
Still here
Key was in our hands
Still..
