Locked Inside

(Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair)

Won't you let down your hair?
Please, get her down from there

In this tale, the innocent ones will pay the greatest price
The mother and father and the only one they had
(Bye mom, bye dad)
Taken, she's shaking, and there's no one to call
The fractions of pictures remain, though they fall
And there is much to understand

Open field outlines the stone
(Impossible to call this place home)
Up there dreaming on her own
(No settling, no Stockholm syndrome)
Clouds fly by and the air is much to thick to breathe

Way up high, shine so bright
All this time kept locked inside
They can bind and try
To contain that tiny light

Gone so long, being strong
Life has never felt so wrong
Still held on, got along
But the bright light is long gone

Thick walls that are only to yield upon the small window
That's giving in light to make her hair grow pale and strong
(Been waiting so long)
No one to hold on to or give her space
Voices and noises without a face
And she's destined to grow old (alone)

If they'd care, they'd let me go
(The one thing that keeps them from doing so)
Years gone by watching it grow
(There maybe someone waiting for that bright glow)
I doubt that's my life, but one day maybe I'll be fine

Way up high, shine so bright
All this time kept locked inside
They can bind and try
To contain that tiny light

Gone so long, being strong
Life has never felt so wrong
Still held on, got along
But the bright light is long gone

(Rapunzel, let down your hair)
Please, get her down from there

(Oh you wicked girl, how you have deceived me)
(I thought I had you safely hidden from everyone)

Now it's easier to breathe
Way up high, shine so bright
All this time kept locked inside
They can bind and try
To contain that tiny light

Gone so long, being strong
Life has never felt so wrong
Still held on, got along
But the bright light is long gone
