It's Locked Away lyrics

The part no longer Has the ring of truth You cast the spells But leave the books on the shelves Stepping out of the frame But no one detects Backing down the stairs Looking just long enough to know It's locked away All blurry eyed They're getting frayed at the sides Windows painted on walls They've started screening their calls Stepping back in the shade How it used to be Another instant replayed It's locked away Always cast against type But no one detects How the light looks tonight Or just who it protects When it shines so bright I always close my eyes When it shines so bright It's blacking out life It's locked away
