Locked Lyrics

Sometimes I
Wish that I wasn’t the type to catch your eye
You wonder why
I’ll surmise
See it’s this beauty that has you coming nigh
Not really I

A fetish
A token taste of taboo
A holiday
A summer getaway
Exotic
A golden foreign girl that you would love to lay
For you to play

Locked in beauty, I’m locked, I’m locked, I’m locked in
You don’t see me, I’m locked, I’m locked, I’m locked in
Locked in beauty, I’m locked, I’m locked, I’m locked in
You just used me, I’m locked, I’m locked, I’m locked in

Locked in beauty, I’m locked, I’m locked, I’m locked in
You just bled me, I’m locked, I’m locked, I’m locked in
Locked in beauty, I’m locked, I’m locked, I’m locked in
Beauty’s ugly, I’m locked, I’m locked, I’m locked in

Locked in beauty
You don’t see me, I’m locked, I’m locked, I’m locked in
Locked in beauty, I’m locked, I’m locked, locked in
You just used me, I’m locked, I’m locked, I’m locked in

I’ve been told
That I am nothing more than just a pretty face
A pretty face
I’ve been told
That everything I have is only coz of my face

My face
They don’t see
All of the bits of me I wish I never knew
I can’t undo
I’m just pretty
So there is nothing else that I could ever do
According to you

Locked in beauty, locked into your perception
You don’t see me, a prisoner of your perception
Locked in beauty, a figment of your imagination
You just used me, Locked into your perception

Locked in beauty, locked into your perception
You just bled me, a prisoner of your perception
Locked in beauty, a figment of your imagination
Beauty’s ugly, locked into your perception

You hallowed me
Without getting to know
Built a me that wasn’t there really
And when that picture died
You grew to resent me
Coz I didn’t fit the plinth
Where left me

You didn’t want me
You wanted a trophy
Something you could boast of that was pretty
You took the humanity right out of me
You made me something empty
But that’s not my responsibility
I didn’t make your perception of me
