Straightjacket Lyrics by Krystal Evette

Underworld

2018

(Verse One)
Lock me up, I’m dangerous
I've hurt myself bound to cut ties
I went too far, I can’t go back
I’m shoulder deep in all my lies
I did the work, no backing out
I’ve made a pact that I can’t break
I pushed myself right to the edge
An overload I cannot take
It’s what I want, to go out now
Only one way to free my mind
I load the gun, ready to blow
I don’t deserve an ounce of kind
No second thoughts, no turning back
I feel my heartbeat in my breath
I down some pills and swig a drink
And start to face this final death

(Pre Chorus)
My mind died many years ago
It’s decayed into ash and bone
I pushed it past the boundary
I couldn’t keep it underneath
My flesh lives, barely alive
Almost ready to take the knife
The pills the bullets all the same
It’s finally time to end the game

(Chorus 1)
Lock me up, put me in a straightjacket
Tie me down, you gotta keep me from my habits
Strap me tight gotta keep me from myself
Bind my wrists, won’t admit I’m needing help

(Verse Two)
My body needs to meet my mind
Severed ties as I got sick
I need to rot to make it right
The tension here is getting thick
I laid the tracks, prepared to go
The train due any minute now
It drives its course, I’m just a blip
In a blink i’ll be underground
I’m taking every single step
Make sure this plan does not go south
I wrote the notes on children’s books
The final words to leave my mouth
The train is coming fast and loud
From the tracks, the light reflects
I close my eyes and choke on fear
I still don’t know what happens next

(Pre Chorus)
My mind died many years ago
It’s decayed into ash and bone
I pushed it past the boundary
I couldn’t keep it underneath
My flesh lives, barely alive
Almost ready to take the knife
The pills the bullets all the same
It’s finally time to end the game

(Chorus 2)
Lock me up, put me in a straightjacket
Tie me down, you gotta keep me from my habits
Strap me tight cuz you know I can’t be trusted
Bind my wrists, for my crimes i’m getting busted
Lock me up, put me in a straightjacket
We can’t have me in the world to spread the madness
Strap me tight cuz you know I can’t be trusted
If you don’t I know I amount to nothing

(Bridge)
Open my eyes, I’m off the tracks
The world around me’s moving fast
I can’t see straight, I’m still fucked up
I cannot tell who’s who and what’s what
Collision hit me in my fate
Kept me away from my escape
I’m still not quite sure where i’m at
I don’t know why I got pulled back
Didn’t want saved, why am I here
The unknown fuels my fiery fears
Everything’s bright, it’s hurts my eyes
I think someone has heard my cries
Why are my secrets coming out
Surrounded by regret and doubt
I keep it all locked deep inside
They’re finding all the spots they hide
I’m coming down, I look around
I think I was retrieved and found
I’m scared that I’ll be locked away
The walls are colored pastel grey
If I’m where I think I am
I’ve failed myself and now I’m damned
The hospital prison of thought
I don’t know how but I got caught

(Outro)
Lock me up
Oh, lock me up
Oh, lock me up
Oh, lock me up
Oh, lock me up
Oh, lock me up
Oh, lock me up
Oh, lock me up
Oh, lock me up
Oh, lock me up
Oh, lock me up
Oh, lock me up
Oh, lock me up
Oh, lock me up
Oh, lock me up
Oh, lock me up
