The music is in my blood, you don’t understand
The music is in my blood, you don’t understand
Sleepless nights at the black and white keys
I’ll let my fingers say it for me
Sometimes my spirit’s still so scared
Once I put it in a melody it means so much more to me
Fate sealed, I guess this is how I feel
Sometimes I swear the lyrics write me
The lyrics write me


The melody a remedy to calm me down
You never did approve of the fix I found


Bury all the records in the backyard, when you’re not looking I’ll go dig them back up
You can bury my body in the backyard, when you’re not looking I’ll go dig myself up
And I know all about the drugs they hide inside the music , I know, I know
I know all about the drugs they hide inside the music


And the preacher at church must’ve told you about them too
‘Cause you came home dead set on what you had to do
You said the demons and drugs hide in rock n roll thugs
If I wanna grow up nice, I better give the music up


The melody a remedy to keep me right
You never did approve of my sleepless nights


Oh the words unwind, my hands rebel
I hide behind these notes too well
I can’t pretend anymore
You’re not listening, you don’t understand
