The part no longer Has the ring of truth You cast the spells But leave the books on the shelves Stepping out of the frame But no one detects Backing down the stairs Looking just long enough to know Its locked away All blurry eyed Theyre getting frayed at the sides Windows painted on walls Theyve started screening their calls Stepping back in the shade How it used to be Another instant replayed Its locked away Always cast against type But no one detects How the light looks tonight Or just who it protects When it shines so bright I always close my eyes When it shines so bright Its blacking out life Its locked away
