the Vagrant from Dopamine Dealer by American Standards

We need a match
We need a fire
We need a spark
We need desire

Diluting everything
Rinse and repeat rinse and repeat
Till it runs clear
Drown in mediocrity
Gasping for some fresh air

I’ve been trying
To shake the tree
But everyone
Rather let it be
We’ve lived our lives
On our knees
I’m just trying to stand
On my two feet

There’s no future in the past
The safety in the crowd
Brings warmth that cannot last
Stay steady as you slip
On footsteps you retread
Feet planted, tilt your head
Feet planted, tilt your head

Tell everyone
Drowning for fun
Give up the gun
And savor the sun

I’ve been trying
Just to shake the tree
But everyone
Rather let it be
We’ve lived our lives
On our knees
I’m just trying to stand
On my two feet

Tell everyone
Drowning for fun
Give up the gun
Savor the sun

Tell every one
Drowning for fun
Give up the gun
Savor the sun
