Iron Bars

I talked about the impossible to the wrong night
Never been able to take my hands off my eyes
Running like a child who pretends to be blind
To keep away secrets too easy to find

Confidence is a dress I used to fit
Before it was a dagger what your smile hid

Time is running out and I stop at the start
Everything I watch moving is dirty black dust

Pillows don't make softer the cage of lack
I don't even know how to escape its attack

Looking at the sky I see cold iron bars
Locking up a freedom that only cuts new scars
I walk in a circle and I think it's not fair
I have a thousand dreams and I'm never there

Looking at the sky I see cold iron bars
Locking up a freedom that only cuts new scars
I walk in a circle and I think it's not fair
I have a thousand dreams and I'm never there

The more the sun comes out
The colder it gets
I find ice on my back when I get out of bed

I keep telling myself to think straight
But my head is a hair dryer on in the rain

Tell me how it feels to have the world in one hand
Having tons of days you don't know how to spend

Shoulders too thin to bear the weight of a loss
Another sticky page that I just tore off
Another sticky page that I just tore off
Another sticky page that I just tore off

Looking in your face I see nothing but fog

Broken shards of mirror if I look down
Faded reflections are the only sound
