Lyric Former Owner

So who was first?
Obviously not me.
She s locked up inside herself
and I can t get anything free
So won t somebody tell me please
Why the former owner always keeps the keys.

There s no bubbles to burst
No bursting out crying nor dying of thirst
She s utterly tied to somebody else
and it seems he got there first.
And No, I m not untying
the reins around her neck that she feels
and I won t try to prise out of her the truth anymore
when she lies about the things that she sees
Because the former owner always keeps the keys.

There s no calling
"Come here, you re necessary to me."
There s no excitement in her face when I implore
"Corrupt me and confess to me some more."
And when we hear trees falling or see people disappearing
Her emotions won t be reached or released,
Because the former owner is keeping the keys

Like a ticket inspector running for a bus
Irony s revenge surrounds us.
And it s ironic that he promised you he d never let you go
When he s left you used-up and disturbed
And I said "Just as the early bird catches the worm
The early cat catches the bird"
But that former owner is keeping his word
