Wrote this in about a week on my phone on the bus to school and recorded it on garageband with the laptop mic.
Let me know what you think please (Never do it ever again or give it another shot etc.)
:) thanks

Swim (...)
Dive in.

Verse 1

I woke up this morning knowing that I've gotta get it

Always knew I was good enough but now I wouldn't even bet it

Coz my mother always told me that our world is getting better

But she fucking lied, I look around, it's everything I dreaded

{Pause}

Oh, no. Now she sees it too

Fuck your ass is what this "better" world is gonna do

But what the fuck's some little kid Down-under s'posed to do?

Listen up, what I'm gonna do I'll tell you:

I'm gonna try and blow
When I win I'll let you know
Stubborn people holding grudges full of shit just let it go

Not gonna compromise
I hope you realise
I'm gonna fuck this world right back and look it in the eyes

Good times they never last
So just forget the past
Coz life it goes so fast
(Fast) So we sit around like dicks in class?

Add to eachother's strife
Til we start to use a knife
I feel like all we learn in school is how to waste our fucking life

We ain't kids no more.
Learn how to swim.

Verse 2

The truth is overrated
Can't debate it
Understate it

Earth, we've been sedated
Desecrated
Tolerated
Fucking jaded
Dominated

Once upon a time we weren't so fucking isolated

Medicated
Hesitated

This grandeur new accepting world, but I don't think we made it

Calculated
Mediated

Created by a greater hand, things need to be translated

We're mutated
Liberated

Throwing verbal sticks and stones you know we're fucking obligated

Learn how to swim

Verse 3

Swim (...)

Restart the show
Semipro
Vertigo
The Status-quo
My amigos
Like dominoes
You watch them falling one-by-one like seeds that never got the chance to sow

The people that you used to know
Fading like the melted snow
Such great friends should make amends not fuck you like a dildo

It's a chain reaction
This world's just a distraction
Can't avoid dissatisfaction
Losing traction
Just a fraction
Sex attraction
Choose a faction

The London bridge is falling down it's time to take some fucking action

You can shout and scream and cry, society is deaf
It's got no voice
But that's by choice
Wake up world there's no one left

You don't fucking get it
This earth sucks coz we let it
Today's regime rapes self-esteem so deep we can't forget it
It's pathetic
Life's cosmetic
Skin deep: aesthetic

Giving god a headache

Planet full of empty people, Adam, Eve genetics

Ribless, spineless
Instant kindness
Ruled by blindness
Pointless violence

Verse 4

Told we're free to live and love but that's all just a Parody
No one wants the burden of accepting that reality

That's apathy
It's gotta be
I'm happily
In agony
This misery
Surrounding me
Empowers me
Full battery

Casual acquaintance called you fat, you watch your calories
Can't eat no more, put down the fork, and lie about your allergies
People you don't know's opinions reset your priorities
You starve yourself and spend your wealth to look like the celebrities

You're fat and gross with shitty teeth
Go crunching on a lettuce leaf
Begging for just some relief
Let go of all your self belief
They weren't polite, but must be right, too fat can't see the good beneath.

Fuck that's stupid
Shitty Cupid
Self respect
We make you lose it
Til you choose it
And abuse it
Booze it
Shoot it
Noose it
Loose it


Come swim
Dive in
Begin
Can't win
The undertow it pulls you down, don't drown, just stay afloat, let life begin.


Life ain't fair.
Learn how to swim.
