Lock and Key


We all have door with a lock but no key We all have our secrets, our past, our deeds We've seen the ups and we've seen the downs We've seen our loved ones placed in the ground We've been scared and scarred We've been battered and bruised We've been lost inside with no direction Regrets and memories plaguing like infection It's like a disease with no cure It's something we just have to endure Some of us are better at it than other If you think about it, it's like black and white vs color The ones who the world in black and white Don't see a reason to stay strong and fight But the ones who see in color aren't easily broken They're tough, defiant, and keep on going It's like a race that you cannot win But you cannot stop, quit, or give in If you look beside you, then you shall see That I got you and you got me And we both have a door with a lock but no key.
