a leaf blows through my window
was my only message of fall
tears flow through my eyes
like the songs drift through the wall
but i do not hear the words
there is no need with that tune
i am locked up in feelings missing you
verse 2
prisons offer freedom
it matters less when they lock the door
than it is opened by force
like rich force the poor
but that open door is killing me
because i cannot move
i am locked up in feelings missing you
verse 3
poisons are for preachers
who misinterpret verse
seasons are for visitors
who escape when things get worse
change is all that's constant
when i lie myself to sleep
i am locked up in feelings missing you
verse 4
somewhere in the depths of reason
is my reason for loving you
where in hell is this heaven
that tortures us like fools
that crystal fire of morning
half frozen in the frosty dew
i am locked up in feelings missing you
Verse 5
if there were not so many suitors
chasing that hand as it flees
seeming like so many tutors
trying to teach where there is no need
my dark lady softly whispers
misinterpreted verse subdued
i am locked up in feelings missing you
