Thrice - Lockdown Lyrics

Send "Lockdown" Ringtone to Cell Phone

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 

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 

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

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  

leave your mind without thought (they fill it) 
identity erased 
place refuse in your sight (you swill it) 
blah blah blahblahblahblah?
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
