lyrics

Locked up in my chamber
Got good people on the line
Papers say the world’s on fire
But in here I’m feeling just fine

Jackie’s on the phone
Says my music taste is great
But it’s gonna take some time
She’s 600 miles away

My other friend is closer
But she doesn’t like my tunes
Think we’re better friends that way
There’s nothing I can do

Hold it, hold it
Hold it together out there
There’s something paranormal beyond our eyes
I want something to go back to something I recognize

Can’t watch scary movies
Cause they’re getting in my mind
Omega Man’s too real
I don’t want to be the last line

I missed your face before
Right now I just want it gone
Things that sometimes bring me joy
Are switching off and on, off and on

I’m sick of one word lines
I’m sick of one word lines
Maybe I’m not giving my all
But you’re accusing me of not trying

The cops are treading water
We’re laughing at their plight
But we’re not swimming smarter
We’re just living longer lives

There’s a piece of you sitting
In the corner of my room
I’m sure you’d like it to be more
But I don’t want these ties in my tomb
