Lyrics

I’m convinced by wheels turning
we’re connected to nothing
how could you not believe a myth
too supplemental to resist?
we’re talking money every evening
fight to maintain some feeling
I keep putting in the work
get good at wording words
I thought I knew
what we were going to do:
showing up by making plans to leave
all I ever wanted was a highway exit,
a checkout before 11,
a way to absolve blame
I do my best to change the channel
god’s in the business of angles
the corners never fit right
too good to say goodnight
my tongue’s a pink pearl eraser
for every thought you would danger
under shavings on the page,
I keep you pinned in second place
I thought I knew
what we were going to do:
showing up by making plans to leave
all I ever wanted was a highway exit,
a checkout before 11,
a way to absolve blame
somewhere across the country,
there’s an infinity pool filled with concrete
you pucker up and dive in
but I never learned how to swim
there’s only one defense against it:
turn around before you get there
god’s children never grow up
you’re much too young to die in a flash flood
I thought I knew
what we were here to do:
showing up by making plans to leave
all I ever wanted was a highway exit,
a checkout before 11,
a way to absolve blame
