lyrics

[Hook]
Locked away in this world that I created
Feelin' elevated, alone, uninterrupted
A room that's full of freedom and the things that I imagined
Feeding my soul, fiddling, resting in the space I breathe in
Locked away in this world that I created
Feelin' elevated, alone, uninterrupted
A room that's full of freedom and the things that I imagined
Feeding my soul, fiddling, resting in the space I breathe in

[Verse 1]
Cause we livin' in a fast-paced world
Where we sometimes go deaf and can't hear words
And I, need to take a break to see what's happening
To check the reality if I'm still listening
Though these words came from my mind
But sometimes I don't live to them and I turn blind
And in addition; I'm afraid of these incisions
I'm sick inside but I know I have a mission
I have vision but what I do is all in violation
Making wrong decisions always in the opposition
A stab to myself I need correction, locked away alone
Talking to myself making conversations
Pinipilit ang sarili na intindihin
Minsan hindi alam kung pa'no sasabihin
Nalilito sa kung ano ang iisipin
At hindi malaman, kung ano ang nanaisin

[Hook]
Locked away in this world that I created
Feelin' elevated, alone, uninterrupted
A room that's full of freedom and the things that I imagined
Feeding my soul, fiddling, resting in the space I breathe in
Locked away in this world that I created
Feelin' elevated, alone, uninterrupted
A room that's full of freedom and the things that I imagined
Feeding my soul, fiddling, resting in the space I breathe in

[Verse 2]
Solitude's a bliss, hibernating like the swiss
Runaway kid, poetic genius I'm a wiz
It's an indication, an act of introversion
And it's my disposition cause I know my limitation
Nakakulong ngunit malaya, sinusulit ang biyayang
Talentong pinagkaloob kaya nandito, sarili ko ang kritiko
Hindi naman ako katulad mong hipokrito
I'm being true to myself but I'm no anti-social
Keeping things to myself but I'm no psychosocial
Sometimes they see me hiding
Sometimes they see me full
Give me a space to plug in, so I won't lose my cool
Float in the emptiness to fix the anxiety
Don't wanna be controlled, I hate the authority
I can be myself who's got some priorities
Who do you think you are to judge a personality?

[Hook]
Locked away in this world that I created
Feelin' elevated, alone, uninterrupted
A room that's full of freedom and the things that I imagined
Feeding my soul, fiddling, resting in the space I breathe in
Locked away in this world that I created
Feelin' elevated, alone, uninterrupted
A room that's full of freedom and the things that I imagined
Feeding my soul, fiddling, resting in the space I breathe in
