    Verse 1
    There's 

    a white 
    prism 
    with 
    phony 
    jis

    Spread 
    across 
    its face 

    And the 
    soulful 
    convicts 
    forever 
    interred 

    Lose the smile 
    across 
    their faces 

    The 
    smile 
    that registered 
    hopes 
    or dreams 

    Has 
    proven 
    just 
    a waste 

    Verse 2
    And 
    I'm 
    the inden
    tured 
    servant 

    Forever 
    in his 
    place 

    I'm 
    the 
    indentured 
    servant 

    Interlude 1
    Forever 
    in his 
    place 


    Verse 3
    wish 
    I built 
    cabinet 

    Of shiny 
    bolt
    s and 
    wood 

    Secret 
    draws 
    and hid
    ing 
    places 

    Sculpted 
    out 
    of wood 

    Secret 
    places, 
    secret 
    lies 

    In a desk 
    lying 
    alone 

    Verse 4
    secret 
    letter 
    written 
    to you 

    To be 
    read 
    when 
    you're 
    alone 

    secret 
    letter 
    written 
    to 
    you 

    To be 
    read 
    when 
    you're 
    alone 

    Verse 5
    It 
    says 
    I'm 
    your 
    indentured 
    servant 

    I can 
    no 
    longer 
    pretend 

    That 
    I'm 
    a lover 
    or 
    an 
    equal 

    I'm 
    not 
    even 
    friend 

    I'm not 
    good 
    enough 
    to serve 
    you 

    I'm 
    not 
    good 
    enough 
    to stay 

    Verse 6
    So 
    it is 
    that 
    beseech 
    you 

    To 
    please 
    turn 
    me 
    away 

    So it 
    is 
    that 
    beseech 
    you 

    To 
    please 
    turn 
    me 
    away 

    Verse 7
    Turn 
    me 
    away 

    Turn 
    me 
    away 

    Turn 
    me 
    away 

    Verse 8

    I'm asking 
    you 
    to let 
    me 
    go 

    It 
    hurts 
    me when 
    you're 
    sad 

    And 
    can 
    not 
    do 
    better 
    than this 

    Which 
    must 
    surely 
    make 
    you 
    mad 

    I'd 
    be better 
    off 
    in your cabinet 

    Verse 9
    Or in a 
    prison 
    made 
    of cloth 

    Crouched 
    beneath 
    your 
    dress 
    come 

    Shooting 
    little 
    spurts 

    Crouched 
    beneath 

    your dress 
    come 

    Shooting 
    little 
    spurts 

    Verse 10
    I'm 
    your 
    indentured 
    servant 

    But even 
    have 
    pride 

    In what 
    make 
    or 
    say 
    or 
    do 

    Al
    though 
    I've 
    lots 
    to hide 

    hide 
    from freedom 
    and I 

    hide 
    from 
    you 

    'cause 
    you've 
    found 
    me out 

    Verse 11
    I be
    long 
    in 
    prison 
    beneath 
    your 
    legs 

    In a 
    cabinet 
    that 
    I've 
    built 

    Be
    neath 
    a candle 
    in a 
    secret 
    drawer 

    In 
    prison 
    by 
    a moat 

    Verse 12
    I'm 
    your 
    indentured 
    servant 

    And I'm 
    asking 
    you to 
    leave 

    Me 
    outside 
    this 
    prison 
    cell 

    Where 
    only 
    you 
    can 
    breathe 

    I'm 
    your 
    indentured 
    servant 

    But I'm 
    asking 
    you 
    for 
    this 

    Verse 13
    Please 
    release 
    me 
    from 
    this 
    love 

    And 
    do 
    it 
    with a 
    kiss 

    I'm 
    your 
    inden
    tured 
    servant 

    I'm 
    the 
    one 
    you'll 
    miss 

    Verse 14
    Do 
    it 
    with 
    a kiss 

    Do it 
    with a kiss 

    Do it with a 
    kiss 

    I'm 
    the one 
    you'll miss

    • 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.
