Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Seventeen, hands in my sleeves

Too much noise in the back of me

They tell me "smile," tell me "be good"

But the whole room feels misunderstood

I read the labels, I read the lines

Same old script in a thousand minds

Sweet little lies on a silver plate

And I can taste it, but it sits like hate

[Pre-Chorus]

I feel it crawling under my skin

Like every door wants to let them in

They say "just trust" and "don't ask why"

But I can see the crack in the sky

[Chorus]

I don't wanna line up

I don't wanna lie down

Poison in the picture

Truth is getting loud now

I don't wanna line up

I don't wanna shut down

Seventeen and shaking

But I'm still here somehow (still here somehow)

[Verse 2]

They hide the cuts with a brighter face

Teach you to beg for a smaller place

Make you hate the parts that won't fit in

Then call it peace when the fear creeps in

But I know kids with their eyes on fire

Kicking holes in the tired wire

We keep a spark in the back of the chest

Even when the whole world says "be less"

[Pre-Chorus]

I feel it crawling under my skin

Like every door wants to let them in

They say "just trust" and "don't ask why"

But I can see the crack in the sky

[Chorus]

I don't wanna line up

I don't wanna lie down

Poison in the picture

Truth is getting loud now

I don't wanna line up

I don't wanna shut down

Seventeen and shaking

But I'm still here somehow (still here somehow)

[Bridge]

If they want my mind, they gotta take the storm

If they want my name, I was born for more

I won't wear shame like a second skin

I won't let their fear make me fold in

[Final Chorus]

I don't wanna line up

I don't wanna lie down

Poison in the picture

Truth is getting loud now

I don't wanna line up

I don't wanna shut down

Seventeen and shaking

But I'm still here somehow (still here somehow)
