Wisdom Teeth

(Verse 1)
Give me my wisdom
Show me it's worth it
Push through the surface of all my skin
Make me an addict
breaking the habit
of brushing you off just so you fit in
(Chorus 1)
Tell me I'm not going down
stuck underneath in a world of baby teeth, oh
I am just as bitter now
as when it all broke out of my mouth
(Verse 2)
Grow without restraint
push through the side brain
splitting a path just so you fit in
Thinning your armour
seems to have harmed the
gaps in your smile that we now must fill
(Chorus 2)
What is left will crumble down
Rotting at the roots
All the lies and the excuse, oh
You should know you're an adult now
so they don't expect to hear a sound

What You Are

(Verse 1)
If you're incredible
Tell me how to dance in the fire
If you're exceptional
Tell me how it is I survived
(Pre- chorus 1)
If you're my brother
Tell me what it is I want
if you're my mother
show me where I come from
(Chorus)
Cause I'm weak
desperate for someone to follow me
Pulling back the curtains
so I can breathe
Opening my eyes
so I can see
What you are to me
(Verse 2)
If you're the perfect judge
Why cant I see myself
as who I really was?
Instead of being someone else
(Pre- chorus 2)
If you're my master
then why is there a knife in my hands?
If you're my father
Tell me what I don't understand
(Repeat chorus)
What you are to me
A broken memory

Grow up

|
(Verse 1)
Why won't you grow up?
Why won't you just grow up?
Why won't you put down that doll
and pick up a makeup brush?
Why won't you go outside?
Why won't you go outside?
Why won't you get a taste of the sun
and socialise?
(Chorus 1)
What are we?
with our reckless dreams
Just something the older people don't need
What are you?
Here wasting your youth
trying to give proof that you'll succeed
(Verse 2)
Now go revise.
Now go revise
Because there are certain things
you need to sacrifice
But you're just a millennial
You're just a millennial
and you have no idea how to be responsible
(Chorus 2)
It's just real life
Take it in your stride
and just try and try to get it right
What are you?
Here wasting your youth
trying to give proof that you're alright
(Verse 3)
Act your age
Why wont you act your age?
Why do you waste all of this time
playing these childish games?
But you're too young for this
You're too young for this
later you'll look back and see
how much you've wasted it
(Chorus 3)
What are you?
Is it really true?
You spend half your days in a screen
They're just ideas
of our deepest fears
but who said it was dangerous to dream?
Why won't you grow up?
Why won't you just grow up?
Why wont you take a look at the world
that we messed up.

Four Walls
04:03
|

|
(Verse 1)
There's always a bird
That calls it's cage it's home
There's always a tree
That gets more sunlight on it's own
And as for me I'm left to be
anything I want
in the plaster walls and windowsills
I've fought for, for so long
(Pre- Chorus)
Everything is simple now
my head is up there in the clouds
it's in the streets I walk on
it's scattered in the places I went wrong
(Chorus)
But to go outside is a simple task
but its like everyone is looking
and I'm made of glass
They see tight through my fickle attempts
and I think the solution is just to wait
but in these four walls is where I feel most safe
I see right through myself
(Verse 2)
There's always a match
that doesn't quite scrape the surface
There's always an object
that doesn't live up to it's purpose
and as for them
they play pretend
in a dollhouse full of all of their friends
They refuse to leave
because they want to believe
(Pre-chorus)
Everything is simple now
I've found my way here on the ground
I'll follow the streets I walk on
And leave behind the places I went wrong
(Repeat Chorus)
(Last chorus)
To go outside is a simple task
but its like everyone is looking
and I'm made of glass
they see right through my elaborate disguise
And I know the solution isn't to wait
but in these four walls
I'll surely suffocate
I see right through myself
