“The song basically speaks to any number of things that keep you balled up inside. A cell of our own making with an unlocked door that we choose to remain in. Focusing our attention inward instead of reaching out to a much larger world. I think this is common to us all. It’s funny how hard we fight...
[Verse 1]
Hear footsteps creak the floor
The shadows give away
Someone outside the door
Won't let 'em in
[Verse 2]
Life damaged gears to grind
A run-down, broke machine
That steals your peace of mind
Before you know it's gone...
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Lay down
Wait
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Silence burning, hold your tongue
Keep us separate, sullen, dumb
[Chorus 1]
Hiding in the darkness under
Boiling to the surface
Stumble, fall
[Chorus 2]
A looking-in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life
Lie
A looking-in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life
Lie
[Verse 2]
These things I hate in you
Also reflect, it seems
Distortion laced with spite
Takes you out of me...
[Pre-Chorus]
Lay down
Lay awake
[Chorus 1]
Hiding in the darkness under
Boiling to the surface, somethin'
Crawling on your skin, discomfort
Makes you break and run
Stumble, fall
[Chorus 2]
A looking-in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life
Lie
A looking-in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life
Lie
[Bridge]
It's why you never tell me whatever's on your mind
It's why you never tell me whatever's on your mind
It's why you never tell me whatever's on your mind
That's why you never tell me
Whatever's on your...
[Chorus]
A looking-in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life
Lie
A looking-in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life
Lie
[Bridge]
It's why you never tell me
Whatever's on your mind
[Outro]
A vengeful mind
Oh, God, ooh
Selfish plans, a vengeful mind
It's all gone
Ooh
Except for this cross
A vengeful mind just reached inside
