All the tracks on the EP is considered extremely rare.
Lockdown is the 2nd track on the EP
Lyrics:
once you were free and you stretched out your wings to the sky
sky was the limit, cap on your creativity
team against team could we even the score
our hearts kept the rhythm, that forbidden beat
your talons now grip like steel to the weight they chained you to
two in the morning, you can't hear the rumbling train
trained not to think or question anything
the chains that had bound you are now obsolete
please open your eyes,
everything they told you was a lie,
think for yourself won't you even try to look past all of those lies
think for yourself
for generations the answer has always been no
no one remembers and nobody cares to ask
asking a question is deemed criminal and slowly the silence grows
on the growing list of the mindless, by your name a check
checkmate the situation if we all toe the line
line up and never open up your eyes
and don't even think about raising your voice
leave your mind without thought (they fill it)
identity erased
place refuse in your sight (you swill it)
yeah it seems they got you bound (bound tight)
yeah it seems they got you beat
the chains that held you down (you down)
they now hang obsolete
I'm just here for the stellar tunes :] Good post, always glad to hear old school Thrice, when they rocked It punk style.

@eveningninja I felt I was coming on a little too strong with the bashing.

@eveningninja He attacked me for saying all my friends like thrice and I don't. Am I the only person not insane on youtube? My name may be idiot but you guys are bigger fucking morons. Stop being babies and picking fights because I seriously don't care. At. All.

@idiot1321 ...and? Prshortpants also stated his opinion. His opinion being that you're being dense and not thinking things through, which is quite obvious. If you can't accept his opinion, you shouldn't expect yours to be accepted. Nice arguing skills.

@prshortpants Looks like I pissed off the Thrice superfan. Shut up dude, Get over it. It's not like i said their music is shitty, or that the suck. I simply stated my opinions so fuck right off!

@idiot1321 Wrong- what you said was that you call them a Bigwig rip-off and it pisses your friends off. To this day, it seems you can't figure out why someone might not like it that you say such a thing and for that, I stand by my previous statement, don't be so dense, idiot.
