Brandon Carter - The Lockdown lyrics

[Verse 1] Can't put my finger on it— Lately, I've been scratching my head Using up this pen, I'm sitting with a riddance Got business that I ain't finished with I've been dependent Crumbled papers in that bin Some people saying I can't One against all, but nothing against them Can't get a hold of myself Tryna pull it together I'm behind bars for my jealously, I'm finally Self-centered, for real Translucent colors, they see through my will Shown too many emotions, they found out my spiel Contained inside a room with no window frame I'm used to seeing snakes, I don't mind ice-cold steel Always held for ransom, been taken for granted Tactics like these come in handy when nothing is handed A day that I dread has to come to infringe and The build for suspense 'bout to be imminent: Who goes there? Leave me alone, I'm lonely! Supposed to, don't phone me You phonies all-on me Just back up real slowly and turn back, not on me Let it r.i.p No other alternative come to think Of It These whistles are morphing to dissonance Eclipse 'Shadiest people are flooring at immenses Impri- Soned inside my where I'm creative Waiting for a spec that falls along the gapes, 'cause It's hard to get some insulation Can't conceal my imagination Locking down my open arms and Setting the alarms, all systems are on According to every single guard I'm the contraption [Hook x2] Trust no one by any means Anyone's your enemy All chambers are situated I put myself in isolation Buried deep and guarded heavily There's no need for sympathy I don't need 'em or the treatment I'm In the lock down for a reason [Verse 2] Knocking on my desk, tapping my feet Looking around, stare, then repeat In writer's block, engraving tallies Graffitied these walls around me Glares emptied out across the ceiling Pen now bleeding, leaking thought bubbles Intriguing what this rubble was once, building Versatility at last, compared then contrasted We're at the climax, we have a situation The faltered replacement has just escaped and "There's no telling where could he be then" Auctioned off his place and, he's going evasive Not a role that's adjacent than when he's enslaved here Shape shifter can phase best to evacuate the building I chose to live fated under a private location And to be isolated behind the door of a basement Become the sanest nutcase that when you intrude You're in for a rude awakening My head's an asylum The next murder's awaiting Heist of the century, abide by no laws Despite what's meant for me, I just cracked the lock And must they yet foresee that something is off I am no longer inside the lock down
