Thrice - Lockdown lyrics

[Verse 1] Once you were free and you stretched out your wings to the sky Sky was the limit, cap on your creativity Team against team could we even the score Our hearts kept the rhythm, that forbidden beat Your talons now grip like steel to the weight they chained you to Two in the morning, you can't hear the rumbling train Trained not to think or question anything The chains that had bound you are now obsolete [Chorus] Please open your eyes Everything they told you was a lie Think for yourself won't you even try To look past all of those lies Think for yourself Think for yourself [Verse 2] For generations the answer has always been no No one remembers and nobody cares to ask Asking a question is deemed criminal and slowly the silence grows On the growing list of the mindless, by your name a check Checkmate the situation if we all toe the line Line up and never open up your eyes And don't even think about raising your voice [Chorus] Please open your eyes Everything they told you was a lie Think for yourself won't you even try To look past all of those lies Think for yourself Think for yourself [Outro] Leave your mind without thought (they fill it) Identity erased Place refuse in your sight (you swill it) [unintelligible] Well it seems they got you bound (bound tight) Yeah it seems they got you beat The chains that held you down (you down) They now hang obsolete
