Your Life (Demo Version)

Verse

There are some rules I was used to

“Always stay quiet”

“Don’t correct your name”

“The way they treat you it’s all okay”

Can’t figure out what I am to you

Am I an academic

Or just an artistic fool?

But, what if I told you

I’m a dancing king?

And at night I feel like I’m

Street fireworks on the 4th of July

Chorus

Now I’m being told

“What you’re doing with your life?”

“What you’re doing with your life

It’s just not right”

And each time I fight back

I’m told it’s not right

Oh

Verse

The fury I hide

It’s all in view

What I held in so long

Is it scaring you?

I told my parents I hated my life with them

And the chip on my shoulder

I like the way it looks

It feels so damn good to say what I want to

There’s nothing like lighting up the stage

And at night I feel like I’m

Street fireworks on the 4th of July

Chorus

Now I’m being told

“What you’re doing with your life?”

“What you’re doing with your life

It’s just not right”

And each time I fight back

I’m told it’s not right

Oh

Verse

It’s almost 2 years later

And I’m sitting here

Writing verses

Versus trying to make you disappear

And maybe I’m mad cause we didn’t work out

But, it’s time to move on

So, I put on my sunglasses and

Step out in SoCal with an armor of tears

Summer is so far, but I can hold out

And on the 4th of July

I’m going to feel alright

Chorus

Now I’m being told

“What you’re doing with your life?”

“What you’re doing with your life

It’s just not right”

And each time I fight back

I’m told it’s not right

Oh

Now I’m being told

“What you’re doing with your life?”

“What you’re doing with your life

It’s just not right”

And each time I fight back

I’m told it’s not right

Oh
