Busted Lock

Verse 1

Three years in that same grey room

Clock hands movin' like they're stuck in glue

Boss man's breath smells like cheap regret

Told myself I haven't had enough yet

Pre-Chorus

But one Friday I just let it fall

Walked out and didn't look at all

Chorus

I busted the lock and I kicked the door down

Left that whole life on the ground

Chain reaction in my own blood

Freedom tastes like rising mud

Verse 2

Mother cried said I'm losin' my mind

Father asked what I'm tryin' to find

I said there's nothin' left to figure out

I'm just tired of what I'm talkin' about

Pre-Chorus

Every cage is made of golden thread

I'd rather starve than be well-fed

Chorus

I busted the lock and I kicked the door down

Left that whole life on the ground

Chain reaction in my own blood

Freedom tastes like rising mud

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Shoulda felt the guilt

Shoulda felt the shame

But all I felt was the open flame

Burnin' clean through the rot and rust

Dust to motion and mold to dust

Chorus

I busted the lock and I kicked the door down

Left that whole life on the ground

Chain reaction in my own blood

Freedom tastes like rising mud

Outro
