lyrics

Little lanes are living lies they’re old and dated in this life 
Horses don’t walk down their cobblestone streets, 
And long lost lovers are ruining his mother’s car, 
But even that doesn’t last for long.

These tree roots are eating me up,  
My bloodlines are beginning to rust,  
It’s okay if birds need to leave now, 
We’ve got two mouths to feed now.  
These garden states are leaving, 
Leave me out of all your grieving, 
Cries you know we will all rot, 
You know god damn well where we came from.

We’ll eat our greens,  
We’ll live our lives  
And every damn time I get this high,  
It makes me think  
That all our dreams,  
Are just skin deep and kept for branches

These skylines are artificial 
Build them back up from the anthills now.  
These blueprint printed post cards 
Reading through all of my thoughts now.

We’ll eat our greens, 
We’ll live our lives 
And every damn time I get this high, 
It makes me think 
That all our dreams, 
Are just skin deep and kept for branches

We’ll eat our greens, 
We’ll live our lives 
And every damn time I get this high, 
It makes me think 
That all our dreams, 
Are just skin deep and kept for branches

But truth be told, the whole world is burning 
Down we fall, living lives it’s only, 
Truth if I find the lies while falling, 
Down and I’m as far down, down, down, as I’ll go!
