lyrics

I can no longer take this life
For granted
What was once so magical
No longer feels enchanted

The landscape of so many hearts
So starkly arctic
I’d get in my car and drive away
But I’ve forgotten where I parked it

You’d think you’d reconsider it
This open indifference
We’ve come to allow
Brazenly inconsiderate
It’s not all that different
Than what blankets us now

Can we make it one more week
To ask if we can make it one more week
The mountain didn’t look so big
But that was at its peak

Gold-plated rearview mirrors
Make it hard to see anything
But hear me out - these cultural constructs are just terror management to shield us from the crushing weight of our looming mortality
Sir, this is a Burger King

You’d think you’d reconsider it
This open indifference
We’ve come to allow
Brazenly inconsiderate
It’s not all that different
Than what blankets us now

The stories that we tell ourselves
The stories that we sell ourselves
The stories that we tell ourselves
The stories that we sell ourselves
The stories that we tell ourselves
The stories that we sell ourselves
The stories that we tell ourselves
The stories that we sell ourselves
