LOCK & KEY LYRICS

1. Down But Not Out

Cries to this world forever fall on deaf ears.
Too much time is placed in reckless hands.

Cries to the past, I remember the facts.
Down but not out.
I won't let my fears consume me,
Living the life I was destined for.
Down but not out.

Spent a lifetime trying to fill these shoes by standards set.
But I know, there will be no regret.
I face this alone, walked the road of no return.
I faced this alone.

The angst that we feel's never ending, it's no use pretending.
Cause they don't understand.
In the end it was worth it, now we are hurting.
We'll take the upper hand.

The thoughts in my mind always haunt my life but I'm
Down but not out.
I moved on from who I was but sometimes the past I can't outrun
Down but not out.

I just wanna be something, someone just like you.
I wanna be somewhere so I can leave these worries behind.
Just like you.

The angst that we feel's never ending, it's no use pretending.
Cause they don't understand.
In the end it was worth it, now we are hurting.
We'll take the upper hand.

Cries to this world forever fall on deaf ears.
Too much time is placed in reckless hands.

2. Burning Rope

Every day’s like a fist fight with myself,
This ain’t going nowhere fast.
I watched them slip away
While I held on by a thread of this rope that’s burning.
I saw them suffer in their final moments,
It’s hard to find hope,
When you’re surrounded by first hand failures

First hand failure,

I prayed to a God who I didn’t believe,
Cause desperation was all I knew.
I tried and I tried to stand on my feet
But my mind just kept me to the ground

I know this feeling all too well,
Cause every night is a living hell.
I’m down on my knees, down on my luck
I’m down on my luck.
I’ve felt like this from time to time,
And I’m not sleeping well at night.
I’m down on my knees, down on my luck.
I’m down on my luck.

Keep moving forward.

I prayed to a God who I didn’t believe,
Cause desperation was all I knew
I tried and I tried to stand on my feet
But my mind just kept me to the ground.

I know this feeling all too well,
Cause every night is a living hell.
I’m down on my knees, down my luck
I’m down on my luck.
I’ve felt like this from time to time,
And I’m not sleeping well at night.
I’m down on my knees, down on my luck.
I’m down on my on my luck.

Never again, will I let someone in.

But I just kept telling myself that if the struggle was easy,
It wouldn’t be worth it.

3. So Alone

I search so alone.

Have you ever felt yourself fall apart,
With nothing left alone in the dark?
I'm not giving in
I'm not giving up.

What I'd give for a time when things made sense,
When things were simple, so alone.
When I knew who I was,
When my worries were at bay, so alone.
And when I lost my way,
There was no one standing there, so alone.
I was left alone with these thoughts,
I swore I'd never felt so alone.

Have you ever felt yourself fall apart,
With nothing left alone in the dark?
We're not giving in
We're giving up.

Should I save my breath or waste these words,
On a situation that constantly turns for the worse,
What the future holds I don't know,
But right now this situations making me feel so alone.
And when I lost my way,
There was no one standing there, so alone.
I was left alone with these thoughts,
I swore I'd never felt so alone.

Everything I knew fell apart,
I watched it burn.

Have you ever felt yourself fall apart,
With nothing left alone in the dark?
I'm not giving in
I'm not giving up.

4. The Border

Our pain, our pride.
It’s everything I hold inside.
We’ll never fall to our knees
cause I know that we tried.
Never give in, never look back.
I’ll never give in, I’ll never look back.
Time is short so make sure that it counts for something.

Who would know the things that bought us together
would tear us apart?
You aren’t the same you used to be.
You lost your way with the art.
We are divided I have my line and you got yours.
I will never lose my way more forward and stop wars.

I know this all too well to be left alone
To cave in
I watched from the inside out I wore I wouldn’t make it
To the end.
No I won’t I refuse it’s the end of my days
I refuse

These words, this struggle.
This life, the endless driving force.
Mean more to me than anything.
Without this we are nothing
Without this we are nothing
Our pain our pride.
Everything I hold inside
No borders to hold me back.
I found that place inside myself I found myself.

You lose your way somewhere along the line.
It’s not a forgotten time.
Now you resent everything you used to be a part of.
We are divided I have my line and you got yours.
I will never lose my way, move forward and stop wars

I know this all too well to be left alone
To cave in.
I watched from the inside out I swore I wouldn’t make it
To the end.
No I won’t. I refuse it’s the end of my days.
I refuse.

I have faith in this, I know things can change.
I won’t ever be silenced.
I’ll tear down your borders.
I see through the small minds with big mouths
Words laced with ignorance.
Who would know these things, that brought us together
Would be the things to tear us apart?

5. Things Stay The Same

I’m holding out for a better day
Things stay the same.
I’m so tired of trying to find a better way
I am running on empty.

In every place I look surrounding me,
We’re told which side of the line to stand.
We won’t give in we won’t back down we won’t let go.
We’ll make our stand we won’t be moved it’s a way of life.

There is no respect.
The end is in sight,
There was once unity and peace that filled these streets.
Now our dreams are brutally beat
We’re left with nothing in our hands.
We’re left with nothing.

I’m holding out for a better day
Things stay the same.
I’m so tired of trying to find a better way
I am running on empty.

With every word I hear form you.
You’ve never been so far form the truth.
We won’t give in we won’t back down we won’t let go.
We’ll make our stand we won’t be moved it’s a way of life.

A way of life.
You pulled me down again to the lowest point.
Never again.
Demand respect but I have nothing left to give.
Never again.

Recklessly placing faith in idle hands.
Losing sight of things that I hold so close.
My dreams once so bright
They burn to embers

I’m holding out for a better day.
I’m holding out.

I’m holding out for a better day
Things stay the same.
I’m so tired of trying to find a better way
I am running on empty.
