Sixteen - Dead Silent

And I wish I was

Somebody that no one could see

Maybe an invisible person wouldn’t hurt as bad as me

I spent a lot of time inside of my head and I could dream

Of a reality where’s it’s nobody but myself and me

Yeah

Nobody’s listening

Nobody miss me

Throwback to sixteen

I took a panorama

Ran outside to play in the street

I found a mirror that only taught me I should hate what I see

I was that kid in the back of the classroom

Who didn’t talk unless he absolutely had to

Always talking funny and he’s always in a bad mood

The target for all of the swirlies in the bathroom

And if you saw him you might laugh too

I’m not saying you would, but I wouldn’t put it past you

Teachers hate the attitude

When I’m sick of the last dude

Who put my jacket in the toilet, I’m grabbing it after school

I need an avenue, a way to escape

I’m dreaming heavy and I wish that I could sleep it away

Writing music is the only thing that’s keeping me sane

This ain’t my body, man it feels like I’m just leasing the space

And I wish I was

Somebody that no one could see

Maybe an invisible person wouldn’t hurt as bad as me

I spent a lot of time inside of my head and I could dream

Of a reality where’s it’s nobody but myself and me

Yeah

Nobody’s listening

Nobody miss me

Throwback to sixteen

I took a panorama

Ran outside to play in the street

I found a mirror that only taught me I should hate what I see

And I wish I was somebody they could understand

Keep my head lower than A1, played alone in the sand

They call me daydreamer, thinking about a million fans

I don’t know how I’ll do it, but it’s all been part of the plan

I think that kid is still trapped inside

Telling me to slow it down

Or we gonna collapse tonight

Never one to throw it down

But they don’t put up half the fight

You wanna be great, it’s only a matter of time

And I wish I was

Somebody that no one could see

Maybe an invisible person wouldn’t hurt as bad as me

I spent a lot of time inside of my head and I could dream

Of a reality where’s it’s nobody but myself and me

Yeah

Nobody’s listening

Nobody miss me

Throwback to sixteen

I took a panorama

Ran outside to play in the street

I found a mirror that only taught me I should hate what I see

In so much time, I did so little

I love open doors, I hate broken windows

I’m a young child, I’ve been so brittle

Can’t open our minds, we don’t know the riddle

They tell me that it’s in my head

Try to tell me I should make friends

Trying to form the words, I never make sense

Ain’t nobody know me but my pen

I’m just feeding my sorrow

Want the pity party to end

And I wish I was

Somebody that no one could see

Maybe an invisible person wouldn’t hurt as bad as me

I spent a lot of time inside of my head and I could dream

Of a reality where’s it’s nobody but myself and me

Yeah

Nobody’s listening

Nobody miss me

Throwback to sixteen

I took a panorama

Ran outside to play in the street

I found a mirror that only taught me I should hate what I see

And I wish I was

Somebody that no one could see

Maybe an invisible person wouldn’t hurt as bad as me

I spent a lot of time inside of my head and I could dream

Of a reality where’s it’s nobody but myself and me
