Another day wake up to the sound of a fight I got screams for alarms
My brothers say dress up like a clown to hide dreams and escape from the harm
Try to hide in these plastic keys
Won't let me play though I beg and plead
I'm not a fan of the negative attention
Express my soul through this jaded imperfection
Put the headphones so they hear
And I think I am safe for now
Learn the art that would be my cure
Hide the noise from the world and how
Wear the headphones tight so they hear
Keep me safe from their venom shots
If they catch just a single chord here
In the mockery is where I'd rot
My heart hidden in headphones I drown the sorrow out
You've always hated my tones but they keep the demons out
My heart hidden in headphones I drown tomorrow out
You may not care for my tones but they keep the demons out
Then I got older thought it would change
But it just smolders all rearranged
Now all the people are putting a price to advice
Got a head full of lice new conditions could numb all the pain
But Novocain nor any gain is fit for omitting the permanent stain
All of the letters I penciled in vain
Told to my face by the people I love that my passions
To them are a lingering bane
Call me insane
Chasing a dream but it seems that I never drowned out any screams
No one believed
No remedy ever relieved
Now lemme hide it from everyone
Safe in the silence of memory
Alone where I can breathe
Put the headphones on and they hear
And I think I am safe for now
Learn the art that would be my cure
Hide the noise from the world and how
Wear the headphones tight so they hear
Keep me safe from their venom shots
If they catch just a single chord here
In the mockery is where I rot
My heart hidden in headphones I drown the sorrow out
You've always hated my tones but they keep the demons out
My heart hidden in headphones I drown tomorrow out
You may not care for my tones but they keep the demons out
