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



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



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

You're not listening, you don't understand

You're not listening, you don't understand

You're not listening, you don't understand



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



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
