Lockjaw

I look outside the sky is grey & the clouds are filled with rain It makes me jealous how it opens up I'm stuck inside again yeah I'm like a sitcom polyester family Inside my TV I'm the boy in the bubble & you can't touch me I'll never open up I'm never coming out &

I fear everytime when the government calls I'm absent hiding in my closet I feel like a news correspondent Got lockjaw Can't tell you that I love you Got lockjaw Can't tell you that I love you

I stand in the mirror & I pull my hair out I can't control my thoughts I wonder why my eyes are dry as a desert My stomach's tied in knots I'm like a freak show sitting on a sidewalk My outline drawn in chalk yeah I freeze everytime I hear the phone ring I'll never hear you knock I'll never open up I'm never coming out &
I fear everytime when the government calls I'm absent Hiding in my closet I feel like a news correspondent Got lockjaw Can't tell you that I love you Got lockjaw Can't tell you that I love you
I thumb through magazines To garner love facts Cosmo's got seven tips I pick up the phone & I try to call you No words just frozen lips I send a message But you know it's always cryptic No sound on my TV yeah I'm the boy in the bubble & you can't touch me I'll never open up

I'm never coming out & I fear everytime when the government calls I'm absent Hiding in my closet I feel like a news correspondent Got lockjaw Can't tell you that I love you Got lockjaw Can't tell you that I love you Got lockjaw Got lockjaw & I love you I love you I love you
