Locked Up
I’m for the people
Who have every right to say what they wanna say.
I’m for believers,
And for the ones who hide their names.
‘cause I know every secret is hard to keep.
She’s like a thorn being hidden underneath your feet.
I’m singing for you.
Because I know you.
It’s like you’re locked up in your own little cell
With no one to talk to and no one to tell.
You’re saving every breath and every lesson
I know you’re locked up locked up
Can’t take the pressure, pressure, pressure.
You’re so uptight, baby. Why don’t you take a bite.
Lay down your fever. You’ll leave her. Believe her, you cheater.
I’m kiddin’. Relax, don’t stress.
I’m for the tears and the fire you hide behind your smile
(and) the voice of regret behind your every breath.
I’m singing for you.
Because I know you.
It’s like you’re locked up in your own little cell
With no one to talk to and no one to tell.
You’re saving every breath and every lesson
I know you’re locked up locked up
I’m for the birthday candles you blow with your eyes closed,
The treasure chest hidden underneath the cemented road,
The ripest apples on the tree that only some get to see,
And I guess it’s only because...
It’s like you’re locked up in your own little cell
With no one to talk to and no one to tell.
You’re saving every breath and every lesson
I know you’re locked up locked up
It’s like you’re locked up in your own little cell
With no one to talk to and no one to tell.
You’re saving every breath and every lesson
I know you’re locked up locked up
I know you’re locked up locked up
I know you’re locked up locked up
I know you’re locked up locked up

Cruel
She ain’t a sinner,
But, oh, how hard she tries
With the demon in her mind.
And he’s a joker.
He don’t give a single shit
Oh, not a little bit.
And the boys in the alley
Just rant for a ralley
For the sex and the money— they don’t care for nobody.
They don’t know her.
But she sees what they do.
And the tricks on the fools.
Oh the cheeks under the eyes
Make the sweetest cherry pies
Only to die on the inside.
He sleeps under the clouds,
Wishin’ he was allowed
To take a little bite to make him feel alive,
But he’s a joker.
There’s no love for the fool
‘cause this world is just too cruel.
Drag him down to the river
Where they’ll sing to the moon
And the wind will she whisper that there ain’t no more room
And he didn’t know her.
Now there’s blood on her dress,
He shouldn’ta tried to impress.
And the stars will they shine
Until you go blind
And the cops will find
That you took the man’s life.
But he didn’t know her.
But she sees what they do
And the tricks on the fools.
Oh the cheeks under the eyes
Make the sweetest cherry pies
Only to die on the inside.
He sleeps under the clouds,
Wishin’ he was allowed
To take a little bite to make him feel alive
(repeat x3)
Find me here
Find me now.
Find me later somehow.
(repeat x4)
Oh the cheeks under the eyes
Make the sweetest cherry pies
Only to die on the inside.
He sleeps under the clouds,
Wishin’ he was allowed
To take a little bite to make him feel alive.

Monochromatic
Imagine.
Sunglasses on top of my nose,
The heat of the sun on the roof of this cozy…
Tryin not to impose me.
Imagine.
The road so clean and I
Just drive away
On my sweet escape.
And this fashion.
Shades all covered in black.
The shades are monochromatic
And she’s an automatic.
But I,
I’m still dreamin’ away
On my sweet escape.
But my dream to fly,
To glide,
On her four wheels.
In the heat of time,
I just wanna
Just wanna drive her away.
Wanna drive in her all day.
She’s waiting for me downstairs
In my garage.
The music to be played on all day,
No matter the weather
It can’t get any better
Unless the magic won’t… stahp.
You won’t stop me from goin’ out.
But I,
I’m still dreamin’ away
On my sweet escape.
But my dream to fly,
To glide,
On her four wheels.
In the heat of time,
I just wanna
Just wanna drive her away.
Awaaaaaay, away.
It’s been a long time since I steeped outside
With the birds in the sky and the sun in my eyes.
Hello, dear doctor, um…
I’m sick by the belly, so I gotta run.
If I leave, if she sees,
Well, mama please.
Mama please….
But my dream to fly,
To glide,
On her four wheels.
In the heat of time,
I just wanna
Just wanna drive her away.
Awaaaaaayyyy, awaaayyyyyyyy
Awaaaaay!
Ooh-way.
Away.

Mind Games
Been alone a couple of days
And I know that he’s thinking all about you.
(he’s) been at home a couple of days,
He’s not alone while I’m away.
And even though that’s all I think about;
Her lips that slip onto his mouth.
I know I can be complicated.
These photos on the walls are taped in.
Suddenly,
You’re on my mind.
Her dress slips down,
Down to her legs.
Packed in boxes, images
Are slideshows played on my mind.
Oh, I’m falling through your head.
Not with a single minute spent,
Your voice is stuck on rewind, rewind, rewind.
And I can’t help but fall in love with you again.
He don’t know and he won’t show what I’ve seen.
A secret alone is all that I’ve been.
And maybe then I’ll hold your hand
Since comfort is what comfort gets.
And you’re so—
I hate your decisions!
Then again, the obvious isn’t what I thought
Runnin’ right back right all the time.
While my dress falls nonetheless,
I can’t process when I’m this obsessed
When I want you now.
And I don’t care how.
And we both know that she’s so complicated.
You stick to both worlds, fixated.
Constantly on your knees,
Beggin’, “please… baby please.”
Oh, I’m falling through your head.
Not with a single minute spent,
Your voice is stuck on rewind, rewind, rewind.
And I can’t help but fall in love with you again.
(repeat x2)
Oh, I’m falling through your head.

And I can’t help but fall in love with you again.

I can’t help but fall in love with you again.
I can’t help but fall in love with you again.

Smile
So I’m smilin’ again
And you can’t stop my feet from stompin’.
And if you count from 1 to 10,
I’ll still be smilin’ from end to end.
And I’d like to believe
That it’s true.
Well, I ain’t running away
Just for one more reason to escape.
And if you’re smilin’ too, then smile away!
This sort of feelin’ don’t come every day.
So just laugh to the beat,
It’s okay since you’re with me.
And we won’t waste no time,
Just be drenched in red wine.
And the devious faces
You see in a daze.
And the silliest daisies
You see everyday.
So I’m smilin’ again
And you can’t stop my feet from stompin’.
And if you count from 1 to 10,
I’ll still be smilin’ from end to end.
And I’d like to believe
That it’s you who’s with me.
That I am hearing your voice and,
It’s no other voice and,
While I’m thinkin’ of you,
I mean thinking with you…
Wait, how am I even thinking?
Why is my head still aching?
So I’m smilin’ again
And you can’t stop my feet from stompin’.
And if you count from 1 to 10…
If you count from….
So I’m smilin’ again!
So I’m smilin’ again
And you can’t stop my feet from stompin’.
And if you count from 1 to 10….
Smile, smile, smile.
See how far you’ve gone.
Smile, smile, smile.
