  • Verse 1

    Be

    fore 
    I even 
    learned 
    to play 
    note, 

    I was 
    on stage 

    Mastering 
    the 
    art 
    of selling 

    myself 
    at a 
    young 
    age 

    Fear 
    and insecurity 
    drove 

    me like 
    Maserati 

    High school 
    was like 
    showing 

    up 
    at a costume 
    party 

    I was 
    a comedian, 
    an athlete 

    A golden 
    boy, 
    black 
    sheep 

    Whatever 
    I had 
    to be 
    to make 
    the 

    world 
    throw candy 
    at 
    me 

    And col
    lege was 
    the same 
    act, 

    different 
    play 

    It 
    was October 
    31st every 
    day 

    And the real 
    world was 

    an all 
    too familiar 
    street 

    Another 
    trick, 
    another 
    treat 

    Verse 2
    Then 
    knock- 
    knock- 

    knocked 
    on 
    your 
    door 

    Every 
    mask 
    ever 
    wore 

    Shattered 
    like 
    glass 
    on 
    the floor 

    And it was 
    like 

    Halloween 
    Verse 3
    ended 

    To 
    all 
    the people 
    I pre
    tended 
    to be 

    Rest 
    in peace, 
    rest 
    in 
    peace, 

    rest 
    in 
    peace 

    Halloween 
    ended 

    To 
    all 
    the people 
    pre
    tended 
    to 
    be 

    Rest 
    in 
    peace, 
    rest 
    in 
    peace, 

    rest 
    in 
    peace 

    Verse 4
    Hell, I don't 
    know why I'm 
    like 
    this 

    But 
    what would 
    it 
    change 
    if I knew 

    Maybe my 
    parents 
    messed 

    up 

    But, hey, they're 
    just 

    dressed up 
    kids 
    too 

    Maybe 
    I guess 
    what I'm trying 

    to say 
    is I 
    love 
    you 

    For 
    be
    ing somebody 
    I'm not 
    ashamed 

    to introduce 
    my skeletons 
    to 

    I still 
    put on my 
    Superman 
    cape 

    and hide 
    in it 

    But when I'm 
    with you 

    it comes 
    untied 
    for 
    a minute 

    Hits 
    the ground 
    in the 
    shadow 
    of your 
    skin 

    For the first 
    time 
    I was 

    comfortable 
    in mine 

    Verse 5
    When I 
    knock- 
    knock- 

    knocked 
    on

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
