Under lock and key

Minds are kept under lock and key
Isolated - afraid of what we might see
Don't want to think of what it might cost
Or all we've lost
Mistake, our mistake
Ignorance, apathy and hate
Mistake, our mistake
Ignorance, apathy and hate
Set our course forward straight and narrow
Tunnel vision self - imposed security
Ignore the warnings of what it might bring
Or what we've seen
Mistake, our mistake
Ignorance, apathy and hate
Mistake, our mistake
Ignorance, apathy and hate
In my mind the question burns
All our mistakes yet we never learn
Won't face the truth, won't face the facts
Instead of forward we've gone back
Going through life with blinders on
Eyes are shut to the things we've done
Minds are closed to the things we fear
In the darkness they've drawn near
Minds are kept under lock and key
Isolated - afraid of what we might see
Don't want to think of what it might cost
Or all we've lost
Mistake, our mistake
Ignorance, apathy and hate
Mistake, our mistake
Ignorance, apathy and hate
Set our course forward straight and narrow
Tunnel vision self - imposed security
Ignore the warnings of what it might bring
Or what we've seen
Mistake, our mistake
Ignorance, apathy and hate
Mistake, our mistake
Ignorance, apathy and hate
Fear in our eyes that we can't hide
Troubled life, a life of lies
Tortured souls' minds cry for release
Not this time there's no reprieve
In my mind the question burns
All our mistakes yet we never learn
Won't face the truth, won't face the facts
Instead of forward we've gone back
Sin after sin we forge on
Things once cherished, now they're gone
