about

The American phrase for a firearm that is ready to fire inspired this story of how a relationship could be affected by a couple spending enforced time together but alone.

lyrics

Everything’s closed, no life anywhere
I used to kinda want this, but now I don’t care
I’m worried sick, you’re worried blind
Choose a new metaphor, see what you find
If I don’t get out soon, I’ll be losing my mind

Maybe I’ll read some good books, or learn how to jive
Something, anything… just to feel alive
You’re wearing a mask, I feel my time has passed
We’re in a prison, and the walls are closing fast
Something has to change here, or we’re not going to last

No light coming in… colours fade to black
Our world has gone now, and it’s not coming back
Watching from the inside, hoping to break free
We’re locked and loaded, no escape for you or me

It’s been too long now, the charade has been exposed
We used to be so open, but communication’s closed
We’re no good for each other anymore
You say it’s my fault but I’m really not sure
You deceived me all along, that’s what your mask was for

No light coming in… colours fade to black
Our world has gone now, and it’s not coming back
Watching from the inside, hoping to break free
We’re locked and loaded, no escape...

No light coming in… colours fade to black
Our world has gone now, and it’s not coming back
Watching from the inside, hoping to break free
We’re locked and loaded, no escape for you or me
