lyrics

Made my escape
Wound up down in a nowhere town
I wait
For it all to find me here
For the calls of pleading from my puppeteers

“The people need you”
Why’d you leave?
You have so much you stand to lose”

I throw my phone out of the window
Don’t wanna see myself on the news

Livin’ in cheap hotels and bars
He must’ve been
Watching me for weeks from afar

‘Cause he knew what I was out to score
I didn’t sense the danger
As I passed through the basement door

“Don’t you know I need you
Tell me it ain’t true
You just can’t be giving up

See, I’m more than just a fan
You’re all I’ve got, man
The only one who gets me”

That was the last thing I heard
Before my vision started to blur
And spiraled into the depths of timelessness

When I awoke, I was chained up to the wall
I could see nothing at all
Dawn broke and crept in through a crack
Of a tiny window painted black

Not a chance I’d loosen this steel bar
Only thing I could reach was a guitar
Pen and notebook left out on the floor
That’s when I heard the creak of a door

I asked him “What do you want from me?”
He laughed “Ain’t it obvious?
You know what I need

It was clear by the songs you sang
You weren’t happy out there
You wanted somewhere to hide away”

You never have to
Go anywhere, you’ve
Got everything here you require

You’re gonna write it
Your next big hit
I’ll be here to keep you inspired”

I tried to fight it at first
That only made things worse
And I don’t know what he’ll do
When this album is through

Perhaps I’ll die down here
Maybe today, maybe 40 years…

But, at least I’ve told my story
In hopes it will reach your ears
