Lock Me Up
Lock me up, hide me away
Shut the door till there is no more
Close my mouth so I can’t speak
Shut my eyes so I can’t see
Break my heart so I can’t feel
Tie me up so I can’t leave
Hold me down so I can’t move
Stomp on me there’s nothing left
Drown me in fear and bitterness
My life is worth nothing now
I think I’m lost, might not ever be found
So just go away there is nothing here
You can be free
I won’t make a sound
Live your life without me here
Go ahead it’s what you need
A life of control and flying free
Yeah it’s good for you so just forget about me
