Verse 1

In my prison cell I think these words 
I was careless, I can see that now 
I must be silent, must contain my secret smile
I want to tell you - you my mirror, you my iron bars

Pre-Chorus

When I made a shadow on my window shade
They called the police and testified 
But they're like the people chained up in the cave
In the allegory of the people in the cave by the Greek guy

Chorus

No one un - der - stands   
no one knows my plan   
why the dancing, shouting; why the shrieks of pain
the lovely music - why the smell of burning autumn leaves

Chorus

No one un - der - stands   
no one knows my plan   
why the dancing, shouting; why the shrieks of pain
the lovely music - why the smell of burning autumn leaves

Verse

In my prison cell I bide my time 
Always thinking, always busy cooking up an
Angle, working on the tiny blueprint of the
Angle, Sketching out the burning autumn leaves

Chorus

No one un - der - stands   
no one knows my plan   
I must be silent, must contain my secret smile
I want to tell you - you my mirror, you my iron bars

Outro

No one un - der - stands   
No one knows my plan
