Lockdown Lyrics


Cast a tear to the wind and watch it all fall apart,
ring sides with the execution of heart,
cause you should have seen it coming so you could play into the part instead of hiding under covers and throwing hope to the stars,
with a last wish,
you got a smile like a lashed whip,
slashed open with a ticket for the last kiss,
little lover with a dagger in your cracked ribs,
trying to pull the battle out or leave in on a bad tip,
laughing,
cause nobody questions the clowns,
till the paint washes off and the water weighing us down to the ground,
picking the shattered pieces of crown with the bloody little holes left riddled in your brow,
when it broke open,
leaving you out of reach,
with a mouthful of love songs scratching at your teeth,
put the black cat back on it's feet,
and stop acting like you never had a chance to be free,
you're a prisoner now..(Break me out of here, I'm freezing,

chain me out of here, I am fleeting,
break me out of here, I'm fading,
rain made out of tears..)Tragedy, it's like a new age drug,
stuck straight into the veins of your two-faced love,
they're dreaming it when you taste blood,
gotta pass that lit torch with the blue flame up,
with a cross to bear,
heavy metal with your black long breathing stuck,
no power for the last one leaving,
all your cracked words leaking out your mouth, now leaving you a blank slave looking for peace,
and all you wanted was a hideout right?
A nice place for you to learn that lie down and die while the time don't fly,
you should learn now that time don't slide,
in the direction of those tears pouring out your eyes,
you should have seen it,
or felt it,
traced around it's body with a felt tip,
and glue it to the joint of yourself,
that should have told you if it's closer to a heavenly hell,
instead of forcing you to smile when the breath in you fails,
you're just a prisoner now..(Break me out of here, I'm freezing,
chain me out of here, I am fleeting,
break me out of here, I'm fading,
rain made out of tears..)

Having spent nearly two years on the road touring in support of 88 Keys and Counting, Grieves found himself returning home to a fractured reality. Reeling from turbulence in his career and heartbreak in his personal life mixed with coming down from the high of the support he received on the road Grieves conceptualized Together/Apart, an album that would address the bond music creates between each of us as individuals and as a whole despite the many distances we experience be they geographical or emotional.

The end of 2008 saw Grieves enlisting the help of friend and collaborator Budo to co-produce Together/Apart bringing his signature swiss-army knife, multi-instrumental backdrop to Grieves' hauntingly poignant narrative. The album began taking shape in New York as the two built off the success 88 Keys and Counting had generated and paired it with the intensity they developed from their live performances. The recording process began to shadow the theme of the album as it saw tracks recorded in Colorado and Washington in addition to New York, infusing it with a mixture of regional influences while still maintaining a cohesive sound. As the album neared completion the title took on a double meaning for Grieves as he explored new subject matter in the absence of trust, refuge in addiction, acceptance and honesty in self-reflection, and trying to find his place in the world without forgetting his roots.
