Under Lock and Key
Sin Prism
Abuse and Revenge · Toxic Marriage · Sinister Alt Rock
#VERSE
She wasn’t trapped in a bank vault
But might as well have been
’Cause that’s how she felt
Being married to him
But the country club staff
Fought when he was around
Each dreamed of the tips
Wealthy Wally threw down
#CHORUS
Under lock and key
With her pleasure assured
Anything she wanted
He’d provide for her
But his dark side was hidden
From high society
Vanessa was fearful
Under lock and key
Under lock and key
#VERSE
She had worked in the bank
Where they whispered, “He’s rich”
So, she made it a point
To scratch his every itch
The first time he kissed her
Was inside the bank vault
Looking back now, she asks
“How much was my fault?”
#CHORUS
Under lock and key
Her pleasure wears thin
He traps her in the bedroom
Where his anger begins
Never a bruise
Just scars no one can see
Vanessa stays fearful
Under lock and key
#INSTRUMENTAL
Vanessa stays fearful
Under lock and key
Fearful, so fearful
Scars no one can see
#BRIDGE
A vault in his basement
Where he kept his riches
Vanessa said, “Lover
Let me fulfill your wishes
Remember your fantasy
From the first time we kissed
You wished we’d made love there
Let’s role play, I insist”
#VERSE
In his vault, she seduced him
Like a king on his throne
She extended his pleasure
Longest he had known
She extracted his passion
Every ember and spark
Then waltzed out, slammed the vault
Wally trapped in the dark
#CHORUS
Under lock and key
Screams of anger and fear
He fell to his knees pleading
Praying she’d reappear
But Vanessa was vengeful
Paid back Wally’s cruelty
Rotting a year in his own vault
Under lock and key
A year with his riches
Under lock and key
#OUTRO
The country club staff
Got too close to the truth
So, Vanessa tips big and says
“He’s just a recluse”
For the cash their lips close tight
Like the vault in her home
Under lock and key
All her riches, and his bones
Under lock and key
All her riches, his bones
