Strange Captive

from Strange Captive by The Morning Sea

lyrics

Up in a cell of cold, gray tile
You circle 'round yourself for miles
Until you find the end
Then circle 'round and start again

There was a bright and distant light
That found your window late last night
While you were tired to the bone
Singing a song that you don't know

About a strange and captive life
You cut it down just to make it fit right
'Cause you're afraid of being alive
You are afraid of being alive

You tried to venture far from home
To find a song that was your own
You were alone and frail
You ventured back into your cell

And covered up that song you sung
'Cause it reminds you of being young
And time hadn't begun to unfold
And there's this story that you told

About a strange and captive life
That you cut down just to make it feel right
But you're still scared of the morning light
You are still scared of the morning light

And you sing la la la la la
And you sing la la la la la
And you go la la la la la la la la la

You scaled the wall and hit the ground
And there's a moral in the sound
Of getting out of the cell
And there's a word that you would yell

And it's a strange and captive word
You shout it out 'cause you need to be heard
And there's still time to face the light
There is still time to face the light

And you sing la la la la la
And you sing la la la la la
And you go la la la la la la la la la x2
