Ryan Cassata
Alcatraz (Acoustic)
[Verse 1]
Virginia, she is sitting by the road
And she's screaming something I can't make out yet
'Cause the demons in her head
They shine in infrared
And don't stop talking
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Virginia, she feels so far from home
Though she's crying right on top of her own bed
It's just noises in her head
Like speakers won't go dead
They won't stop talking
[Chorus]
And she screams
Lie lie lie
And the sidewalks become a home
Lie lie lie
And her mania was building cement walls
From reality
And she screams
Would you rescue me at all?
Would you tear down this wall?
And she gets no answers
And she stays afraid
[Post-Chorus]
Woah woah woah woah oh oh
Woah woah woah woah oh oh
[Verse 2]
Virginia, she is walking towards the mend
Through scripts and medications from a godsend
And she's fighting what they said
She's trying to act her best
But they're still talking
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Virginia, she is seeing how they tend
She's still swearing off the bottle like her friends
But she's collapsing like a bend, while screaming "it's the end"
Yet they're still talking
[Chorus]
And she screams
Lie lie lie
And the sidewalks become a home
Lie lie lie
And her mania is building cement walls
From reality
She screams
Would you rescue me at all?
Would you tear down this wall?
And she gets no answers
And she stays afraid
[Post-Chorus]
Woah woah woah woah oh oh
Woah woah woah woah oh oh
[Outro]
I'm stuck in Alcatraz
I'm stuck in Alcatraz
I'm stuck in Alcatraz
I'm stuck in Alcatraz
Woah woah woah woah oh oh
Woah woah woah woah oh oh
Woah woah woah woah oh oh
