I've locked me all up, swallowed the key
What I don't let out can't be used against me
And everyone, they all want in
Miss kissing my secrets, calling me distant
Looks like a story
If you're living in a dream
I am not pretending my conscience is clean
My heart is not a slot machine
I admit I can be cruel, mostly to myself
I worried most everybody I've held
Loving is feral, keep a safe distance
Nobody sees this is passive resistance
Seems like a story
If you're living in a dream
I am not pretending my conscience is clean
My heart is not a slot machine
I know you're there, you really do care
Love is a language that can be unfair
'Cause close ain't enough, we all want more
But no one admits if you don't know what you're looking for
Seems like a story
If you're living in a dream
I am not pretending my conscience is clean
My heart is not a slot machine
