LYRICS:

My friends always tell me I get carried away
Sometimes I spit when I talk cuz I have so much to say
They don't seem to hear me but I guess it's ok
It's not their fault my minds working overtime with no pay
They always say the same things and it's starting to get old
That my head can't get sick
It can't catch a cold
I scratch and I pick
My insecurities poke
My fears, my anxiety, a voice that provokes
Take a walk, clear your head, breathe in count to ten
Cuz on first page of life written in red
You'll never make it here if you don't learn how to bend

Don't speak unless you're spoken to little girl
Someday you will find your place in the world
But ladies don't get dirty
Someday you'll learn to fill the empty space
With empty faith

Everyday feels like a battle and I always get hurt
I was frequently told violence was never the answer
But life doesn't abide by the rules of a child
I don't know how to fight only taught how to surrender
There's a certain kind of darkness that does a reaping
It usually takes you right before you are sleeping
Is it the crack in the door that it finds a way to creep in?
Or the crack in your brain that wants you to drop dead
I don't remember what it's like to see with clear vision
I awake every morning like the dead has arisen
I don't have to think this body of mine is a prison
You don't control me I just gotta find the light switch
But the more that I look the further I get
You're the only thing about me that needs to be fixed
Cuz on the first page of life written in fine print
Stop looking for light live it instead

My mind is a mess but I love it none the less
They tell me to hush but my words are all that's left
So on the last page of life written in gold
Don't waste it always doing what you're told

Anyone else think she should be the next big thing?

[FaithMarieJ]

I am overwhelmed with all these positive comments! You guys are seriously so sweet you have no idea how much I appreciate you. It makes me tear up reading all these personal comments about your own struggles, and seeing you relate to eachother. It's hard to write personal songs and release them for people to react to because it's such a deep part of my life, but I am so grateful to see how my song is something you can relate to, that you know you aren't alone. I hear you, I know what you're feeling, your feelings are valid and they MATTER. Not everyone is going to understand, and that's ok. You're all such beautiful people and I am so blessed to have you along on this journey that I am embarking on. I am SOO excited to show you what else I'm working on <3 (Also this song is now on Spotify for those of you asking!!)

[ainsleyb]

Just ignore me as I keep using the replay button.

[jordanlofing]

Incredible. More music now days needs to be written with this much heart and honesty.

[marissasweeten]

You know what sucks. I can’t even tell my mom how I feel because she’ll just say “do you need to see a therapist” or “do you need to go to a mental hospital” and she won’t listen. This song really hits hard. I’ve been writing poems a lot and once she found one..and tore it up. Because she thinks I’m fine because I mask my sadness with a smile that works so well. She doesn’t understand, she was raised with an adopted mom and she had everything she ever needed. But right now, I just need a mom who understands and listens

[Schaufelkuenstler]

I have been returning to this song again and again for years. It is so incredibly good. The spoken passages are especially brilliant. A masterpiece.

[emmagvillanueva]

still breathtaking no matter how many months between videos I'm haunted by the lyrics and her voice

[ToonGrizzly]

I was listening to Melanie Martinez on Spotify when this song started playing. I was about to press skip like I usually do, but I stopped and listened. I really like this song because the lyrics are strong and filled with love. I hope you make it big in the music industry because it's not everyday when you come across a female rapper who doesn't talk about sex and drugs .



oh and btw I love your pig tail buns.♡

[Verse 1]
My friends always tell me I get carried away
Sometimes I spit when I talk cuz' I have so much to say
They don't seem to hear me but I guess it's ok
It's not there fault my minds working overtime with no pay
They always say the same things and its starting to get old
That my head can't get sick
It can't catch a cold
I scratch and pick
My insecurities poke
My fears, my anxiety, a voice that provokes
Take a walk clear your head breathe in count to ten
Cuz on the first page of life written in red
You'll never make it here if you don't learn how to bend
[Chorus]
Don't speak unless you're spoken to, little girl
Someday you will find your place in the world
But ladies don't get dirty
Someday you'll learn to fill the empty space
With empty faith.

[Verse 2]
Every day feels like a battle and I always get hurt
I was frequently told violence was never the answer
But life doesn't Adibe to the rules of a child
I don't know how to fight only taught how to surrender
There's a certain kind of darkness that does a reaping
It usually takes you right before you are sleeping
Is it the crack in the door that it finds a way to creep in?
Or the crack in your brain that wants you to drop dead?
I don't remember what it's like to see with clear vision
I awake every morning like this dead has arisen
I don't have to think this body of mine is a prison
You don't control me I just gotta find the light switch
But the more that I look the further I get
You're the only thing about me that needs to be fixed
Cuz on the first page of life is written in fine print
Stop looking for the light, live it instead.

[Chorus]
Don't speak unless you're spoken to, little girl
Someday you will find your place in the world
But ladies don't get dirty
Someday you'll learn to fill the empty space
With empty faith.

[Bridge]
My mind is a mess but I love it none the less
They tell me to hush but my words are all that's left
So on the last page of life written in gold
Don't waste it always doing what you're told.


*SORRY IF THERE ARE MISTAKES.*

This came up as an ad and I was about to skip it but before I did I saw how beautiful she was, so I decided to keep listening. I'm so glad I did because oh my god this gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes. Your voice is so beautiful and your message is just as amazing.

[ariannamireya]

I'm not crying you are.

This is amazing

[endlessgl]

Everybody is screaming Twenty One Pilots and all I hear is female version of Macklemore (which is amazing) or the lead singer from Paradise Fears. This is absolutely incredible. Spoken word, when done tastefully, is easily one of the most powerful tools in music.

[melikealmali]

this song will help me..i'm going through a bad period.. actually i've never been in this situation..the one i loved the most hurt me..i'm disappointed. i'm full of sad thoughts. she was like a sister to me..i really cant believe what made her like that..from now i think i'll never trust people like i did before. she taught me that. not to trust anyone. and i'm sure this song will hold my hand, thank you for this song..🙏

[cassj]

I've been struggling so much with similar things to what you said. Your head can catch a cold. Thanks for being positive about this, but honest as well. You are a good singer, and I look forward to hearing more from you.

[danisnotonchairsmate]

These were the exact thoughts I had when I was in the hospital. I'm so glad I'm not alone. She girl seems amazing. Did she do this by herself? It's absolutely wonderful. Voice is perfect. Video is simple and sweet. Lyrics are the most amazing thing I've heard in a while. Thank you, Faith Marie

[MintyDragonVidz]

My parents have always meant well, and do their best, but not even they understand my brain. I’ve had to be my own advocate, and learn on my own just to make it through each day. This song helped me understand my emotions and the state of my brain a little. Thanks!

[lindathao]

Oh my omg yo nice singing voice keep it up faith marie ya

[kittykat]

This made me cry, .. I can relate so much. This is so beautiful and you are so so so beautiful! Thank you for sharing and helping me. <3 I'm a new fan. <3

[vulixirus]

Omg. I was driven to tears by how powerful this was, thank you. It's so hard to describe it but the verses get me every time and the lyrics are so clever and relatable. It almost sounds like aggressive poetry, i like it.

[lucyjoy]

how long I have to wait for the next song
