This lyric sheet isn't paired with a song yet, so lines are shown but won't sync or seek.

[00:09.97] Count up your portions, count up your checks

[00:12.44] Feeding your fam while you're coming at my neck

[00:15.09] When ya gonna freeze with the cruel dramatics?

[00:17.48] I'm not inspired by your foolish practice

[00:19.87] Butter your bullshit, set up your fence

[00:22.53] I'm just the chicken giving you the egg

[00:24.93] Soon you're gonna see that your breath was wasted

[00:27.32] Don't speak too soon on your doubts, you're making

[00:30.50] A big deal out of a little thing

[00:32.89] Why should I try to conform to formulated paths?

[00:37.40] When clearly all my instincts led to something more magical?

[00:42.64] Am I just a number? 'Cause it seems like that's your goal

[00:47.16] You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow

[00:51.94] Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke

[00:56.99] Until I prove you wrong like I've done time and time before

[01:01.50] And all your idle teaching and your criticism lack

[01:06.33] The potential to penetrate my solid golden path

[01:11.41] To decide what my future is, I'm my own clairvoyant

[01:16.19] There's no controlling me

[01:18.48] Imagination on ascend

[01:24.23] Take me to Venus, let me explode

[01:26.89] I'm ready to pop like a volcano

[01:29.55] Jump over me like you're playing hot lava

[01:32.21] Emotions on one hundred thousand, who's gonna

[01:34.61] Shake me like soda creme, but, of course

[01:37.28] Use all your words to distract from the source

[01:39.67] Of where all the growth on the paper happens

[01:42.16] Leave me alone in my own concoction

[01:45.30] Pricking all my fingertips to carve out many roads

[01:50.08] Pushing out the petals from the bud of what I know

[01:55.15] Am I just a number? 'Cause it seems like that's your goal

[01:59.40] You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow

[02:04.17] Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke

[02:08.97] Until I prove you wrong like I've done time and time before

[02:14.08] And all my intuition says is, "Expansion comes first"

[02:18.62] But not just by material, I'm talking 'bout in here

[02:23.67] My heart space and my cranium must be loved too, my dear

[02:28.46] Don't push me to the edge until I'm useless and can't feel

[02:36.45] They replaced their search for knowledge

[02:42.03] With the reach of many material gains

[02:46.64] They lack the tenderness of the sensitive

[02:53.05] Empathetic bodies crying from the pain

[02:57.62] It's too late to grow their frame

[03:03.46] Of mind it seems that it's already made

[03:08.50] No use in arguing with someone who doesn't

[03:14.43] Wanna prioritize birthing of creation

[03:19.74] Oh oh, oh oh, oh

[03:30.90] Am I just a number?

[03:33.55] Oh oh

[03:36.47] Am I just a number?

[03:38.87] Oh oh

[03:41.79] Am I just a number?

[03:44.18] Oh oh

[03:47.12] Am I just a number?

[03:49.77] Oh oh

[03:52.70] Am I just a number? 'Cause it seems like that's your goal

[03:57.47] You push us past our limits just to watch our numbers grow

[04:02.79] Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke

[04:08.38] Until I prove you wrong which I've done time and time before

[04:13.70] And all my intuition says is, "Expansion comes first"

[04:19.01] But not just by material I'm talking 'bout in here

[04:24.32] My heart space and my cranium must be loved too, my dear

[04:29.95] Don't push me to the edge until I'm useless and can't feel
