Locked Inside

Yeah.

Look at the clock,

it’s 3 AM again.

Just me, these four walls,

and a ghost of a friend.

Phone on silent, but nobody’s calling anyway.

Yeah.

{sad piano chords, atmospheric vinyl crackle} I stare at the ceiling,

tracing the cracks Thinking 'bout the past and the things I can't

take back Got a crowd full of people screaming out my name

But when the lights go down,

it all feels the exact same I’m pouring out my soul into

a microphone stand Hoping somebody out there finally understands That you can

have a million eyes staring at your face And still feel like

a stranger in your own damn place

I check my notifications,

hoping for a sign Just a "hey,

you good?" to help me clear my mind

But it’s just automated emails and some news alerts Funny how the

silence is the thing that really hurts

I build these walls high so nobody can see the pain Now

I’m trapped inside my castle getting soaked by the rain.

{fast trap drum entry} And I’m so lonely,

yeah, it’s eating me alive Just trying to find a reason that

I need to survive Floating in the dark,

looking for a little spark Holding onto pieces of a broken,

heavy heart

Yeah, I’m lonely, scrolling through the memories Living in a room full

of my own enemies Just a whisper in the wind,

waiting to begin Wishing I could find a way to let somebody

in. {soaring vocal line,

high-pitched vocal harmonies} I take a drive through the city just to

see the lights

Passing couples on the sidewalk,

holding on tight

I mirror their expressions,

try to fake a little smile But I haven't felt a real

one in a long,

long while They see the streams,

see the views, think I’m doing great But success don't mean a

thing when you're eating off an empty plate I’m homesick for a

place that I’ve never even known Tired of being surrounded but completely

alone My mind is like a theater playing all my worst mistakes

Counting up the promises that everyone breaks I put my headphones on,

let the melody bleed Maybe music is the only therapy I really

need. {rhythm drops slightly,

filtering the drums} 'Cause I’m so lonely,

yeah, it’s eating me alive Just trying to find a reason that

I need to survive Floating in the dark,

looking for a little spark Holding onto pieces of a broken,

heavy heart

Yeah, I’m lonely, scrolling through the memories Living in a room full

of my own enemies Just a whisper in the wind,

waiting to begin Wishing I could find a way to let somebody

in. {explosive full band entry} Just let somebody in.

But the door's locked from the inside.

Yeah.

3:15 AM.

Still awake. Still alon

{drums fade

out, solo piano echoes,

slow fade to silence}
