Locked Gates

Verse 1

Saw you standing in the haze

Painted smiles, distant gaze

Every thought pulls me near

But I freeze, stuck by fear

Stepping back from what I find

Keep the door closed in my mind

Let the current pass me by

Don’t surrender, don’t ask why

Chorus

I don’t wanna slip inside

Spinning eyes, tangled mind

I don’t wanna drift so deep

Hold my ground, don’t let me sleep

Post-Chorus

Turn around, float away

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Turn around, float away

Verse 2

Mirrors melting on my wall

Promises begin to crawl

Slow confession, time bends slow

Colors run, I won’t let go

Pre-Chorus

Every shadow feels so near

Breath is heavy, love is clear

Ride the spiral, hold my fear

Keep on walking, disappear

Chorus

I don’t wanna slip inside

Spinning eyes, tangled mind

I don’t wanna drift so deep

Hold my ground, don’t let me sleep

Post-Chorus

Turn around, float away

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Turn around, float away

Post-Chorus

Turn around, float away

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Turn around, float away

Bridge

Locked the gates inside my chest

Heartbeat slowing, pass the test

I see flames behind your eyes

But I won’t let myself try

Draw the line, protect my soul

Let the longing lose control

Lost in patterns I invent

Better broken than repent

Chorus

I don’t wanna slip inside

Spinning eyes, tangled mind

I don’t wanna drift so deep

Hold my ground, don’t let me sleep

Post-Chorus

Turn around, float away

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Turn around, float away
