3ringsleft - What They Took from You Lyrics



3ringsleft - What They Took from You Lyrics




A ring of salt around your bed
A broken mirror in your head
A butterfly tries to break in
Through the window
You sit for hours in your bath
Hold your knees up to your chest
A ribcage wasn't enough to
Protect your soul

Had I been there
You'd still be yours
But your cocoon was cut open wide
Just a mess of faces in your mind
And a little boy got lost inside

You are no one's plaything, you're alive
Tried to break your soul, but it can't die
Overtake your mind, God knows they tried
But what they took from you does not define your life

A hollow glance, a vacant stare
A Wonderland beneath your hair
Electrified your burning brain
'Til it cracked
No, I will heal your sanity
Just keep those gorgeous eyes on me
Pick up the pieces and we'll
Put them all back

Had I been there
You'd still be whole
But it's all right 'cause all your broken glass
Makes a kaleidoscope

You are no one's plaything, you're alive
Tried to break your soul, but it can't die
Overtake your mind, God knows they tried
But what they took from you does not define your life

Keep your eyes on me
Don't give in to fantasy
The pain will pass, we will outlast
You have no hold over me

They picked your lily, turned it black
But, darling, you are no one's cat
Open your eye and cut the strings
Off your back
The butterflies can go to hell
And you will not live in this cell
'Cause what they took from you did not
Make you less of a man

You are no one's plaything, you're alive
Tried to break your soul, but it can't die
Overtake your mind, God knows they tried
But what they took from you does not define your life

It does not define your life (keep your eyes on me)

The nightmares drive you to my bed
'Cause my voice isn't in your head
Just keep two eyes on me and we
Will surely win
And mark my words, they'll know our name
We'll show them we won't play their game
'Cause we're not mad here
And we will never let them in
