Numbers - Melanie Martinez Lyrics


[Verse 1]

Count up your portion, count up your checks

Either you're fam or you're comin' at my neck

When you gonna freeze with the cool dramatics?

I'm not inspired by your foolish practice

Why do you bullshit? Side up your fence

I'm just a chicken givin' you the egg

Soon, you're gonna see that your platform's wasted

Don't speak too soon on your doubts you're making

A big deal out of a little thing

Why should I try to conform to formulated pasts

When clearly all my instincts led to something more magical?



[Chorus]

Am I just a number 'cause it seems like that's your goal?

You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow

Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke

Until I prove you wrong like I've done time and time before

And I don't like your teachings and your criticisms lack

The potential to pageantry, my solid golden path

To this, I hope my future is a mile, clairvoyant

There's no controlling the imagination on a send



[Verse 2]

Take me to Venus, let me explode

I'm ready to pop like a volcano

Jump over me like you're playing hot lava

Emotions on one hundred thousand, who's gonna

Drink me like soda? People, of course

Use all your words to distract from the source

Aware of the growth, the paper happens

Leave me alone in my own concoction

Breakin' all my fingertips to carve out many roads

Pushin' out the petals from the thought of what I know



[Chorus]

Am I just a number 'cause it seems like that's your goal?

You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow

Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke

Until I prove you wrong like I've done time and time before

And all my intuition says is expansion comes first

But watch us buy material and talkin' 'bout in here

My heart space and my cranium must belong to my dear

Don't push me to the edge until I'm useless and can't feel



[Bridge]

They replaced their search for knowledge

With the reach of many material gains

They lack the tenderness of the sensitive

Empathetic but he's cryin' from the pain

It's too late to grow their frame

In their mind, seems like it's already made

No use in arguin' with someone who doesn't

Wanna cry or retice worthy of creation

Am I just a number?

Am I just a number?

Am I just a number?

Am I just a number?



[Chorus]

Am I just a number 'cause it seems like that's your goal?

You push us past our limits just to watch our numbers grow

Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke

Until I prove you wrong like I've done time and time before

And all my intuition says is expansion comes first

But watch us buy material and talkin' 'bout in here

My heart space and my cranium must be love to my dear

Don't push me to the edge until I'm useless and can't feel
