about

Written after I watched 'American Pastoral' on a Sunday evening after bedtime.

lyrics

My friends are going insane.
Jobs, houses, girlfriends.

In the grass, on the street,
there’s no movement, there’s no need.
And in the sky, there is says,
"We can do the things we wish."

I might be going insane
with my backpack on this train.
There is no room to sleep.

I’ve been inspired by some
quote printed on a setting sun.
A cape made of air.

But I can’t fly and I can’t love,
and I will probably screw up.
Make-up girl, porn star,
we are all set up to fail
by Shutterstock.

In distant futures they’ll open their eyes,
dreams are for bedtime and life is for life.
I’m gonna get back my job in the mine.
All rocket boys ended up in the ground.

In distant futures they’ll open their eyes,
dreams are for bedtime and life is for life.
I’m gonna get back my job in the mine.
All rocket boys ended up in the ground.
