lyrics

what sort of longing do i stare at
in the void of my phone..out bus windows
am i still trying to be my best
on a wednesday i'm such a disco
wonderful soul may i feel how sad
you drip down the grass, decaying faith
you're 53 and i am what had
to instagram an instant of shame
the colors looked nice
you were alive
before the cancer set in
before the fires arrived
the shadows did dance
and i had to snap
the sort of glowing
that i can't kidnap
what sort of beauty do i stare at
at 3am when i realize i should care less
because i care so much
because i care too much
because i care so much
because i care too much

truth doesn't make its bed on its own
so if you want a little flowing, better put on a show
i slick my hair back as if its made of wax
truth loves to dance its own circumstance
the earth is so special to me
but how i can reverse this disease?
the earth's no different than any other mass
so how can i learn to love and give back?

what sort of longing do i stare at
in the void of my phone...between coffee shakes
it's a call to action and not fantasy
maybe i'll commune responsibility
all of this checking no message received
i know you pass'd on but i still believe
the goal of our soul is to denounce
all the troubles we keep in our mouths
i lay down to stretch my body out
i haven't relaxed in so long

truth doesn't make its bed on its own
so if you want a little flowing, better put on a show
i slick my hair back as if its made of wax
truth loves to dance its own circumstance
the earth is so special to me
but how i can reverse this disease?
the earth's no different than any other mass
so how can i learn to laugh? when everything dissolves so fast?
