Guinea Pig Bday

Lyrics

Verse 1
Dad got sis that guitar
for her birthday shine

I asked for a keyboard
same day, same time

I came home to guinea pigs
small paws, cage, and hay

I stared at that box
like, what am I supposed to say?

One went quiet first
then the other faded out

I needed keys and loops
not a heartbreak in a house

I wanted black-and-white
to make the whole room move

Now I’m talking to the wall
like it’s gotta tell the truth

Pre-Chorus
Music is life to me
that’s not a phase I wear

I make my storms in rhythm
I turn my pain to air

If I had that keyboard
back when I was young

I swear I’d be in the game
I’d be the one

Chorus
Music is life
music is life

Give me the keys
I can still survive

Music is life
music is life

I was built for this
(I was built for this)

Verse 2
I love making beats
and writing every line

Turning bad days to hooks
one bar at a time

EDM in the chest
trap under my skin

I hear a crowd in my head
before I ever win

But I’m still here now
with the hunger and the fire

Still chasing every sound
that pulls me higher

Dad, you missed that moment
that could’ve changed my lane

Now I’m turning all that loss
into something I can claim

Pre-Chorus
Music is life to me
that’s not a phase I wear

I make my storms in rhythm
I turn my pain to air

If I had that keyboard
back when I was young

I swear I’d be in the game
I’d be the one

Chorus
Music is life
music is life

Give me the keys
I can still survive

Music is life
music is life

I was built for this
(I was built for this)

Bridge
I don’t need a pardon
I need a chance to bloom

From that little cage lesson
I learned my own room

I’ll make the loudest future
out of what I lost

Turn that old “not cool”
into a holy cross

Chorus
Music is life
music is life

Give me the keys
I can still survive

Music is life
music is life

I was built for this
(I was built for this)
