Dead Silent - Fourteen lyrics

I got a new job and now
I've made a few bucks
Me with every one of my friends
Faded like a crew cut
Dislocated relationships thinking it pays
To screw up got no time to myself
God I hate that I grew up
Got no time to be wasted
Yet every year it's the same thing
Everything drawn out for you but
You wanted a painting
The picture frame ages but our
Jays don't change laces
Maybe we'd stop the hate if
Our feet could trade places
Fake friend to some but the
Realest to the rest
Say the gun is pointed at you
But conceal one in your vest
Send a text saying I'm a snake
And so quick to protest listen to the birds


You need to stay inside your own nest
You want a symphony but preach
It to the choir
You don't know how to handle all
The money that you've acquired
Your rumors are a pedestal
Your ego is the riser
Your common sense is missing
Like your financial adviser
You want the truth? Well that's
All I can spit
You're fourteen and smoke and
Drink till you're blitzed
You're smarter than you admit
But no you act like a ditz tryna convince
Every guy to slip you drinks that are mixed
I've seen the darker side of hell
And waiting for a sunny one
Your biggest problem is wishing
That you were 21
I lived my life in fear till
I was forced to grow up
You're chasing drinks instead of dreams
Until you throw up

Promised me, honesty
But act like you ain't gotta be
And honesty has split me open like a lobotomy
Following the opposite of what you say
Lied to me
Start to think that what you say is
What you don't know how to be
Start to mess with situations
Out of curiosity
Either that or you were drunk
And spilled ever so violently
Your self control is like a novelty
It makes me gag a nozzle piece is what you
Need over your face
Whose side are you on? It's
Obvious it isn't mine
I never know when to believe you
Your stories fail by design be a man
Learn to stop crying wolf and pleading for me
If you wanted my respect you
Would stop telling me stories
Yeah I get it, we graduated, we’re moving up
Your life is headed in no direction
Makes two of us
You got some problems, your body
Is full of bruises, cuts
And anger flowing through all of your
Veins like you were shooting up
Sleep deprivation got you panicked a lot
Feeling trapped inside a world
With a mechanical lock
I wish your motivation was
High as your desperation
But instead you’re sitting wasted
Getting higher on medication
Conversation done, this configuration is dumb
My patience was at a 10
You got it down to a 1
This situation got me down in a slump
Your days are numbered to the point it would
Feel better if you rounded them up
