Former Owner Lyrics

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
