Lyrics Shawn Mullins – Locked In My Room

Sometimes it’s hard to stay sane
Dogtags like shackles on my brain
We’ve got a language of our own
You learn to talk bad

Dusty books on my shelf
It’s kind of like running from yourself
Five years between the two extremes
I lived my life in books,
Or so it seems.

And all I could see was an older me
I had to reach down inside

Before life took me for a ride

I lie awake at night,
I don’t know wrong from right
And no one really knows who you are
But they’re all telling you
That you’re gonna go far

And all I could hear
Was a ringing in my ear
Boxes of words
Locked in my room
But I never wrote the tune.
