  • Verse 1
    Uh, 

    and 
    he nev
    er 
    lies, 



    uh 
    yeah 

    He just 
    sits, 

    and watches 
    the people 
    in 
    the boxes 

    Everything 
    he 
    sees 
    he 
    absorbs 

    and 
    adopts 
    it 

    He mimics 
    and 
    he mocks 
    it 

    Really 
    hates 
    the box 
    but 
    he can't 

    re
    member 
    how to 
    stop, 
    it 

    Uh, 
    so 
    he continues 
    to 
    watch 
    it 

    Hoping 
    that 
    it'll give 
    him somethin 

    that he can 
    box 
    with 

    Or how the 
    locksmith, 
    see the 
    box 
    as, 

    locked 
    in 
    the 
    box 

    Ain't 
    got the 
    combin
    ation 
    to 
    unlock, 

    it 

    That's why 
    he watch-es, 

    scared scared 
    to look 
    away 

    'Cause 
    at 
    that moment, 

    it might 
    show 
    him 

    What 
    to 
    take 
    off the 
    locks 
    with 

    So 
    he chained 
    himsel
    f to 
    the box, 

    took a lock 
    and then 
    he locked 
    it 

    Swallowed 
    the combination 

    and then forgot, 
    it 

    As the 
    doctors 
    jot 
    it all 
    down, 

    with they 
    pens 
    and pencils 

    The 
    same 
    ones 
    that took 

    away his 
    voice 

    And just 
    left 
    this instrumental, 
    like 
    that 

    And 
    he never 
    lies 
    Verse 2
    (he never 
    lies, 

    he never 
    lies, 
    uh) 

    And 
    he never 
    lies 
    (uh, he 
    never 
    lies, 

    he 
    nev
    er 
    lies, no) 

    And 
    he never 
    lies 

    (he never 
    lies) 

    'Cause he 
    never 
    said 
    anything 
    at 
    all 

    He just 
    Verse 3
    sits, 

    and listens 
    to 
    the people 
    in 
    the boxes 

    Everything 
    he hears 
    he 
    absorbs 

    and 
    adopts 
    it 

    Anything 
    not comin 
    out 
    the box 
    he blocks 
    it 

    See 
    he loves 
    the 
    box 
    and hope 

    they 
    never 
    stop 
    it 

    Anything 
    the 
    box 
    tell 
    him to do, 
    he 
    does 
    it 

    Any
    thing 
    it tell 
    him to get, 

    he 
    shops 
    and 
    he cops 
    it 

    He protects 
    the box, 
    locks 
    it in 
    a box 

    When 
    he 
    goes 
    to sleep, 

    but 
    he 
    never 
    sleeps 

    'Cause 
    he stays 
    up to 
    watch 

    it, scared 
    to 
    look 
    away 

    'Cause at 
    that moment, 

    it might 
    get stolen 

    And that's 
    the last 
    of 
    the boxes 

    So 
    he chained 
    himsel
    f to 
    the box, 

    took a lock 
    and then he 
    locked 
    it 

    Swallowed

    (uh, he 
    never

    he never 
    lies, 
    no) 

    And 
    he never 
    lies 
    (he never 
    lies)

    never 
    said 

    anything

    • 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

      Rose the Black Cat

      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 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      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!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      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.

      Caleb Schafli

      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.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
