Faux Alarms - Daddy's Little Matchstick Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Private schools and porcelain dolls
Designer labels line these halls
They built me up to be their pride
But I'm just screaming deep inside
Straight A's and perfect little lies
Behind these walls, rebellion flies

[Pre-Chorus]
Strike a match against the wall
Watch their precious kingdoms fall
Not the daughter that they planned
Time to make my final stand

[Chorus]
I'm daddy's little matchstick
Burning everything they built
Sweet little anarchist
Breaking every guilt-trip spell
They never saw it coming
Their princess raised in hell
Now I'm lighting up their perfect world
And watching as it fell

[Verse 2]
Trust fund baby gone astray
Ripped stockings and dyed hair today
They gave me everything I need
To tear apart their sacred creed
Philosophy and classic lit
Just taught me how to counterfeit

[Bridge]
Panic attacks in bathroom stalls
Mascara running down these walls
They want their prodigy to shine
But I'd rather f*cking lose my mind
Than play pretend another day
In this game I never chose to play

[Chorus]
I'm daddy's little matchstick
Burning everything they built
Sweet little anarchist
Breaking every guilt-trip spell
They never saw it coming
Their princess raised in hell
Now I'm lighting up their perfect world
And watching as it fell

[Breakdown]
You wanted me to be your legacy
But I became your worst enemy
Every book you made me read
Just showed me what I need to feed
This fire burning in my chest
Your perfect girl failed your test

[Final Chorus]
I'm daddy's little matchstick
Watch me burn it to the ground
Sweet little anarchist
Finally breaking down these walls
Your princess isn't coming home
I've answered freedom's call
Now I'm dancing in the ashes
Of the life you planned for all

[Outro]
Strike another match
Watch it all turn black
No going back
No going back
