Locked Up Lyrics by Cinders

Cinders

2016

[Verse 1]
Why are you looking down at the ground below you
When you could be looking up at the sky up above you?
Not a cloud in sight, you put your hood up to keep it all inside

[Pre-Chorus]
And I would never want somebody
To frown on a perfect day
And I have never known somebody
Who preferred it that way

[Chorus]
'Cause when you're locked up now
You write a story about it
And it's painted on your face with your tears
But when you walk outside
You wear a mask over all of it, but
Darling you don't need to fear

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause with a face like that
And a heart that matches it
Well there's beauty inside and out
Yeah the world is loud
So all you need to do is shout

[Verse 2]
Hello, how are you doing?
I'm asking 'cause I've got nothing else to say
So how has life been treating you?
I think that that answer is overdue

[Pre-Chorus]
Because I would never want somebody
To frown on a perfect day
Yes, I have never known somebody
Who preferred it that way

[Chorus]
'Cause when you're locked up now
You write a story about it
And it's painted on your face with your tears
But when you walk outside
You wear a mask over all of it, but
Darling you don't need to fear

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause with a face like that
And a heart that matches it
Well there's beauty inside and out
Yeah the world is loud
So all you need to do is shout

[Bridge]
Oh you had it, you lost it
Don't let it tear you down
All the weight on your shoulders
Can be lifted with a sound
All you need to do is shout
Oh you just need to let it out
All you need to do is

[Chorus]
When you're locked up now
You write a story about it
And it's painted on your face with your tears
But when you walk outside
You wear a mask over all of it, but
Darling you don't need to fear

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause with a face like that
And a heart that matches it
Well there's beauty inside and out
Yeah the world is loud
So all you need to do is shout
