Shelf Life

[Intro]
[Verse]
Scuffed up boots on the linoleum
Breathing in the stale petroleum
Clock is ticking like a ticking bomb
I forgot where I even came from
Fluorescent lights make me look dead
With all these voices in my head
Manager’s breath smells like old coffee
He thinks he’s got a hold of me
[Pre-Chorus]
One more 'can I help you' plea
Is the death of the girl in me
I’m done playing the quiet part
With a riot beating in my heart
[Chorus]
Slam the glass and taste the air
I don’t care if it isn’t fair
Watch the glitter hit the floor
I don’t work here anymore!
No more shrinking to fit the frame
I’m the fire, I’m the flame!
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I'm the flame!
Burn the name!
Not the same!
[Verse]
Knock the rack of polyester shirts
I don’t care if the company hurts
Cheap-ass mugs and the plastic toys
Making such a beautiful noise
Acrylic stands and the branded pens
I’m never coming back again
The discount bin is a pile of lies
I see the terror in your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
The exit sign is a neon god
And I’m the one who’s acting odd
I’m done playing the quiet part
With a riot beating in my heart
[Chorus]
Slam the glass and taste the air
I don’t care if it isn’t fair
Watch the glitter hit the floor
I don’t work here anymore!
No more shrinking to fit the frame
I’m the fire, I’m the flame!
[Bridge]
Cracked asphalt under my heels
You don't know how freedom feels
Small town minds in a small town box
I'm the one who breaks the locks!
The wind is cold and the sky is wide
There’s nowhere left for me to hide
And I don’t want to hide!
I don’t want to hide!
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Slam the glass and taste the air
I don’t care if it isn’t fair
Watch the glitter hit the floor
I don’t work here anymore!
No more shrinking to fit the frame
I’m the fire, I’m the flame!
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I'm the flame!
Burn the name!
Not the same!
[Outro]
