Unheard Sirens Inc. - The Key Lyrics

There is a lock within us, maybe more
Maybe a winding castle, dark corridors of
Door after door, after door, after door
Behind them's... your spirit
Your soul, your heart
Your longing

Every lock needs a key
Not just any key
Each for each
You need the one that fits....the one that fits

Take back The Key
To your humanity

There is a lock inside of you - me - everyone
A winding, castle full of locks
Needing keys, not just any key
Each for each
You need the one that fits
The one that fits
For door after door after door
Behind them is your grief, passion
Loneliness, joy, shock
Wonder, delight, pain, lost loves &
Dark nights of the soul

Take back The Key
To your humanity
This is your way out
Your way out, your way out
Take back The Key

The keys are hidden within my own - within
The artist's own willingness to feel, speak the truth
Throw open doors and
Wail or bleed it out
In all its messiness
And imperfection
Its transcendent woundedness

Without the art to carry the key
You'll never be allowed to feel...
Or BE fully human
No, not here - not now
In this lost, shut-down, cut-off concrete
Wilderness
No

You must feel - and it's petrifying -
So let us bleed, dance, speak
And sing out our heart and soul
For you
For ourselves
Let the ART flow
Through air and time
To give you back the key
To your humanity

This is your way out
Your way out, your way out
Take back The Key
