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}
