First Single from Metamorphosis

lyrics

[Verse 1]

Wish I
Wish I
Wish I could grow up
Hope I don't get too old to grow up
Wish I could grow down
Caught on that bug goin’ round
Allowed myself space to mature
Can make me feel like manure, shit
Lil bit, throw it, my life
Or maybe I'm across it
Balanced, stretched thin
Found peace, lost this
I got this, I got this

Anthem to failure

Life doesn't come with a reset
There's a manual, I can't reach it
so much to learn, they don't teach it
Spoon fed ignorance to preach it

Thought I'd have it all at that 1 8
Life was supposed be great
Stay out late, clubbing
Live life like it was nothing
My Lady she’s stunning,
Keep it bluffing with nothing

Speak with confidence
Walk with pride
Something's different inside
Nothing to hide
Insecurity for adolescence
Wish I could count those blessings

[Hook]

And everybody’s telling me
Which ways up
And everybody’s selling me
The next miracle
But I’m still broken and hurting
Just need some place
I can find peace

Hope I’m never too old to grow up

[Verse 2]

I feel like the tv lied
Thought there was a change
inside
18, was a metamorphosis
Adulthood progresses
Why does no one address this,
Wish I could summon wisdom

Answer clean cut, clear
Take the wheel steer
Learn to hear, listen, help
Actively look after my health
Appreciate the value of work
But could use some Insta wealth
Instagram pushing my ego but still don't love myself
Oxymoron, life sets rules then excuses itself
Still working out issues,
Busy replacing the shoes with holes or socks, pants it’s endless

[Hook]

And everybody’s telling me
Which ways up
And everybody’s selling me
The next miracle
But I’m still broken and hurting
Just need some place
I can find peace

Hope I’m never too old to grow up

[Verse 3]

I want to be better, Work at it
Just don't know what at is
or if I'm close
Can't learn from my peers
They have no idea,
misguided advice surrounds
Distinguishing when words are just sounds
people make in their personal panic
Every great quote has an equally great retort
How do you know you were taught correct
when someone says you’re wrong
Is a lie, a lie if you believed it
Can you try and try to achieve it
When do you know it's a lost cause
Or just keep trying just because
someone told you it was impossible.
We all want to be unstoppable

[Hook]

And everybody’s telling me
Which ways up
And everybody’s selling me
The next miracle
But I’m still broken and hurting
Just need some place
I can find peace

Hope I’m never too old to grow up
