Grandma Said No

No one knows, so don't you make a sound.
Do your best to blend in the crowd
Stand your ground but keep your head down
Good things will come if you don't mess
around (...Yeah, I don't know about that)

You see I'm tired of living like I'm somebody else
Don't care about what you think sits well.
Trying to fit in is only half my hell,
Clawed my way through the stories you tell.
I only regret the things I've withheld,
Foolishly waiting for the love that melts.
I never wanted to line the shelves,
Though I smiled so you wouldn't ask me how I felt,
And all you said was

No one knows, so don't you make a sound.
Do your best to blend in the crowd
Stand your ground but keep your head down
Good things will come if you don't mess
around (...Yeah I really don't know about that.)
You see it's funny what shows when things fall apart.
When you're alone, standing can be hard.
I'd rather break the bank than let you break my heart,
'Cause somebody has to change the story arc...
Bright eyed, broken heart, always working in the dark,
I did my time, I played the parts
Now I can't wait for my life to start
You don't have to change, but you better stay sharp
'Cause like you told me

No one knows, so don't you make a sound.
Do your best to blend in the crowd
Stand your ground but keep your head down
Good things will come if you don't mess around.

Oh that sounds good... but the thing is
No one knows just how the story goes.
Lies only work if your roots don't grow.
You had your turn, now I'm taking control,
Not asking for permission simply pressing go.

Mama wants to know that I'll grow old...
Grandma said "No," but her eyes stayed bold.

Mmm... mmm... mmm...

Good things will come if you don't mess around.
