Lockdown

I can feel you calling me

I can see the cracks between these walls

But this pain

I choke on the words as they rise in me

To survive, I lockdown

I can feel you calling me

I can taste the poison in your heart

But these dreams

Blurring the lines between war and peace

To survive, I lockdown

Say the words

I can’t face the world

If I could say the words

Everything would be broken still

We are broken

I can feel you calling me

I can see the cracks between these walls

But this pain

I choke on the words as they rise in me

To survive, I lockdown

Say the words

I can’t face the world

If I could say the words

Everything would be broken still

And I know why
