Lock Picker
My hearts been caged again and again
Trapped behind thick iron bars
And left to rot in a cold cell
But I have honed a skill
To set me free
From this cage
I take out my tools
And make light work of the lock
Just a little to the left
A little to the right
And pop opens the bars
When someone captures my heart
They try to cage it
To trap it for later
But they don’t know
That under my clothes
I keep a sharp edged lock pick
They’re fools to think
That I’m trapped
In a blink of an eye
I’ll escape
These bars will fall away
And I’ll be able to breathe
As the fresh air caresses my cheeks
So when their gaze is diverted
I make my move
My escape
I break open the lock on the cage
That has trapped my heart
My dagger edged lock pick
Has broken my heart
Out of another cold cage
Trapped behind thick iron bars
And left to rot in a cold cell
But I have honed a skill
To set me free
From this cage
I take out my tools
And make light work of the lock
Just a little to the left
A little to the right
And pop opens the bars
When someone captures my heart
They try to cage it
To trap it for later
But they don’t know
That under my clothes
I keep a sharp edged lock pick
They’re fools to think
That I’m trapped
In a blink of an eye
I’ll escape
These bars will fall away
And I’ll be able to breathe
As the fresh air caresses my cheeks
So when their gaze is diverted
I make my move
My escape
I break open the lock on the cage
That has trapped my heart
My dagger edged lock pick
Has broken my heart
Out of another cold cage
