Lyrics
We had taken our new names and we had
Put them up in lights and it was
T-minus seven seconds until it would all come right
And all the healing would begin
The healing would begin
Loosened up the lips but we had no ships left to sink
We took everything we had we taught ourselves to believe in we had
As crooked as a painting, torn by increased market hanging
We were living off my parents and we were
Low
Crawled out of the bedroom like a stone rolled from a cave
We were inches from transcending
In an opiatic haze
In an opiatic haze
In an opiatic haze
We had polished up our resumes
There was nothing we were lacking
We had impeccable references
We had aligned all of our chakras
We were looking for a living wage
Looking for a living wage
And if there's misery by god well we can
Sing it from the rafters
Delete all woken dreams, collect aesthetics, redeem vouchers
We had asynchronous haircuts
Stepping on the tape
We were desperate for a friend
Slowing it down by days
We were starting microbreweries
It was the dawning of a century
