Lyrics

Shacking up outside the city
That's where we go for a happy end
A daisy chain of expectations
Tied around my head
Living up to projections
Telling me how I'm supposed to feel
Stay on the surface level
and don't look up
Look up
Look up
I'm sick of forcing smiles Burning inside
Breaking on the outside
I'm over playing nice
Taking off, I'll see you on the other side
Open wide and take a bite
Diet pills won't fill me up
Ok?
I want the bigger slice
Live everyday like it's my birthday
My birthday
BIRTHDAY
They told me fake it til you make it
But you've gotta keep your feet on the ground
I kept trying to shrink myself to fit in
Feed the lie
The lie
The lie
I'm over playing nice
Taking off, I'll see you on the other side
Open wide and take a bite
Diet pills won't fill me up
Ok?
I want the bigger slice
Live everyday like it's my birthday
My birthday,
BIRTHDAY
Live every day like it's my birthday
