lyrics

Pull my hair back, get undressed
Walk the hall and put a record on repeat
Take a bath to pass the time
‘Coz I’ve been going out of my mind the past two weeks
I keep one eye on the door
I don’t lock ‘em anymore, not since that day
I’m still haunted by the backfire, I’m still broken
Chains don’t mean I’m safe

I shut the monsters out and my demons in
My shelter now, my prison
My prison

And by now I suppose you know there’s more
Than just the face that you adored, much more than skin
I couldn’t give you what you craved
And only in another way, I let you in
And you were just too busy getting hurt
To realise the way you burned me down
I’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout
I’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout you lately
And the way we, the way we faded out
And now

I’ve shut the monsters out and my demons in
My shelter now, my prison (my prison)
I shut the monsters out and my demons in (my demons in)
My shelter now, my prison
My prison

Aren’t you glad we never sat
Hand in hand and back to back?
Hand in hand and back to back?
What good could come of that?
Aren’t you glad we never sat
Hand in hand and back to back?
Hand in hand and back to back?
Oh, back to back
(Back to back we never sat, hand in hand and aren’t you glad?)
Back to back
(Back to back we never sat, hand in hand and aren’t you…)

I shut the monsters out and my demons in
My shelter now, my prison
I shut the monsters out and my demons in (my demons in)
My shelter now, my prison
My prison
