lyrics

The pilot over the intercom knows
How much we need to have the world at our fingertips
So i finger a bag of potato chips
Packaged in Berlin, Pennsylvania

The airline lost my guitar in connection
Likely it’ll be delivered tomorrow
So I passively watch college basketball
Nuturing for my material sorrow

I wonder when I’ll wake up for good, pour out the cup I’ve slowly been filling up

In this, I’ll try to balance the two
Resistance towards romantic cementing
And social critique, bland meaning imbued
That won’t read as frustrated white venting

In line for the cabin bathroom
I was sure that I loved myself
And then thought back to that time-old tune
The one that old Brian Wilson spewed

I wonder when I’ll wake up for good, pour out the cup I’ve slowly been filling up

I wonder when I’ll finally wake up
Pour out the cup I’ve slowing been filling
With all verbal false starts
A testament to our sense of
Where it ends and where beginnings seem to
Send the same delay signals
It was relevant at first, but soon sure as shit it’s worn to worst

We left the doors and made
A break for opposite sides of streets
And I asked for a flick of light
Although I had no desire
Just to forge what he would make of me
And the words that I’m fiending for
Under blockades I weed through acres and acres of dead
Flowers comprise my mortal bed I’ll forever fight against

When you leave I want to add
That you can leave me bound and gagged
And I’ll come back, looking like a fish taking its last gasp
Gut me and fuck me till I’m too worn to even consider self-worth
As the reason I was brought here first
And foremost I’ve awoken but it comes at a price that yearns to be put aside

If fearlessness is all that I’ve left to learn
Than why even try to speak
It’s outstanding it’s outstanding, It’s outstanding
That’s all good, but you know it exists solely so you
Could take what you wanted away and bury in it soil
And then someday harness the fruits of its toil
Virtuous proverbs aside, it wouldn’t be shit were it not contrived
