Target Practice from Miniwaves by Aaron Schroeder

I thought I heard the walls were listening
Five years in five minutes
What life ends up like this?
We can’t afford to stay here

W on’t know for a long time what it meant
Good dreamers end like that
I wrote eight hundred songs, none of them meant a thing

We hear the guns all night (a fool to cry now)
Regret pours from our eyes (what happened to us)
There was too much room then
How could we waste it?
I gave you all I could

I’m always finding something lost
We get carried off
We only know what we’ve been taught
At target practice
So many laughs on the way down
Because we are doing them wrong

What was it before then yesterday?
My feet are tied to skates
Be anything you told me
We’re okay to die then

I’m escaping through a broken screen
Woke up inside a dream
Very much crazier (but at least) never alone again

We hear the guns all night (a fool to cry now)
Regret pours from our eyes (what happened to us)
There was too much room then
How could we waste it?
I gave you all I could

I’m always finding something lost
We get carried off
We only know what we’ve been taught
At target practice
So many laughs on the way down
Because we always doing it wrong

Lately I’ve been changing my lens
I don’t need new subjects to get tore up in
I’m gonna tell you everything right before it’s too late
Before it’s too late

We only know what we’ve been taught at target practice
So many laughs on the way down
So many laughs on the way down
