Locked Lips

{fingerpicked dark acoustic

guitar} {distant ambient cello swell} {solemn quiet atmosphere}

Lock the box and hide the key (mmmmm) Keep the shadow safe

with me

Speak no name beneath the light

Leave it buried out of sight {intimate whispered

vocals}

Never tell a single soul

Let the quiet take control

If they ask you,

turn away

We have nothing left to say

{vocal swells and rising cello} In the floorboards,

in the walls

Where the dust of silence falls

Let the promise settle deep

This is not for them to keep {hushed vocal with sparse guitar}

Never tell a single soul

Let the quiet take control

If they ask you,

turn away

We have nothing left to say

(shhh) {full rich vocal arrangement}

Keep it safe

Keep it deep (ahhhh)

{acoustic guitar fading to single note} {cello trailing off}
