lyrics

i've kept secrets
in the crevices of my apartment
you disregarded my every attempt
to prove everything evident
instead of playing dead
for once in my life
now i shed time
accommodating my whole life with
locks and blinds
in the same view with a new light that's not
painted to cover up the occupants
who bled here like i did
who lived here like i did
who died here like i did
who left earth like i did
who changed their perspective and clothes
for a place that no one knows
for a frame i named uncomfortable
compared to angel wings and halos
wasted time
accommodating my whole life by
pacing my
apartment where we used to lie around
in the brightest
secluded space in this whole town
where you never come around
no, you never come around
so, pay no attention to that man
behind the curtain
the great one has spoken
i just think it's
time that you opened up your
eyes and thought of another
before yourself
it's time.

Prison On A Hill
by Somos

supported by 9 fans who also own “Locks and Blinds”

Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long. RIP, Phil PaintedDogs

This album is a whole experience, every song is perfect, the lyrics, the instrumentation, the slow quiet parts hit just as much as the loud upbeat parts. I love this album so much. okmadrock
