It's locked away
A ton of us just saw
No need to pray
The beast is just unmoved
I was the child
Who broods alone upstairs
This is that mild
Nothing but a frown
I don't feel bad
He probably likes his cage
I guess it's best
To let both sides win
It's locked away
A ton of us just saw
No need to pray
The beast is just afraid

There’s a mighty cinematic sweep in the songs on the latest from Badlands, the big and imposing orchestration with dreamlike vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 27, 2022
