Self Defined Lyrics by Maya Payne

MP1*

2016

You say we're young and naive
It'll soon be a time to leave
I've gotta know, you gotta know
Self defined

Do you remember when
We stayed up 'til 6 am
I've gotta know, you gotta know
We're self defined

This world's a dangerous business
How down amongst all the madness
I got that hunger
To feel forever younger

We're self defined

Self defined

Too many people say
We aren't worth it anyway
What I write
They can't decide
Self defined

Who do they think they are
When they say we won't go that far
What are [?]
They can't decide
We're self defined

This world's a dangerous business
How down amongst all the madness
I got that hunger
To feel forever younger

We're self defined

Self defined

This [?] away
We feel out of place
We're gone with no trace
The fill keeps me awake
We'll prove we're not afraid

We're trying to live up
To your expectations
Drowning in temptations
Temptations

We're trying to live up
To your expectations
Drowning in temptations
Drowning in temptations

We're self defined

Self defined
