Noodle Spines

Verse 1

Look

At the floor

Staring at your untied laces

Acting like you didn't trip yourself

Nobody pushed

Nobody shoved

You just fell

Now you're leaking salty water

Waiting for a hand

Waiting for a hero

Wipe your nose

Stop the sniffle

Pick up the mess you made

Or keep on lying

Keep on crying

Blame the wind for how you behaved

Go ahead and point that finger until it snaps off your hand

Chorus

We don't want to grow up

We just want to hide

Blame it on our shadows

Keep the truth inside

It wasn't me

It wasn't him

The world is just unfair and grim

Verse 2

Pathetic

Truly

Missing every single goal

Because the grass was too green

The ball was too round

Excuses are cheap

You got a literal mountain of them

Stacked up high

Blocking out the sun

Look at you

Shrinking

Smaller than a thumb

Hard work is scary

Pain is a bully

So you just quit

You just sit

Wagging your tongue at the mirror

Trying to convince the glass that you're a victim

Go grab a bottle and a bib since you love acting like a literal infant

Chorus

We don't want to grow up

We just want to hide

Blame it on our shadows

Keep the truth inside

It wasn't me

It wasn't him

The world is just unfair and grim

Bridge

Maybe it's my dad

Maybe it's the rain

Maybe it's the teacher

Anyone but me

Anyone but me

Anyone but me

Verse 3

Listen

Pay attention

The clock is ticking loud

While you're hunting for a scapegoat

In a field of zero sheep

Choice is a heavy weight

And your spine is made of noodles

Wobbling

Shaking

Afraid of a little sweat

Life isn't a playground

It's a paved road

And you're allergic to the asphalt

Keep your head down

Keep your heart cold

Stay a loser

Stay a ghost

Die with a mouth full of lies because you were too soft to swallow the truth

Chorus

We don't want to grow up

We just want to hide

Blame it on our shadows

Keep the truth inside

It wasn't me

It wasn't him

The world is just unfair and grim

Outro

Go ahead

Keep pointing

Point at the sky

Point at the wall

Just don't look down at your own two feet
