lyrics

We were raised beneath the powerlines
Enough voltage to fully vaporize
all the dead-end streets, suburban trees, humming AC in the August heat

a gift of love, full of flaws

the world our parents left for us
the pledge of allegiance and classic rock
an IV of mythology infused into our blood

the hallway
stretches to infinity
an empty motel off I-70
the sorrowful midwest, a promise never kept
high life commercials I’d watch with my dad

sent me dreaming of a far-off forgotten land
a city stuck on the edge,
glittering and anonymous
still waiting for destiny to manifest

we ripped through open city streets
in the emptiness was possibility
to rewrite the script, rediscover meaning
in the hollowed-out core of the American Dream

we watched the sun rising over the Rockies
rooftops built by someone else
we took our precious time, we were a million miles from everyone else

and we didn’t care bout them
yeah we didn’t care
the city lay in front of us
glittering and anonymous

i didn’t care back then
no, i didn’t care back then
the future lay in front of us
shimmering and infinite

shimmering and infinite

it was all in front of us

shimmering and infinite

the future in front of us was

completely limitless
impossibly distant
pretty much irrelevant

now it’s the age of decadence
we take whatever we can get

stagnant and disconnected

we still got a couple lifetimes left
till all the choices we made
turn around and come back again

we got at least a couple years left
till all the choices we made
turn around and come back again

now i can smell your cigarette
so promising when it was lit, it’s gone stale on your denim vest

now i can smell your cigarette
a little fire when it was lit, dissolved into the infinite

i know you’re worried
yeah i’m worried too
Staring into the inferno
To find the light to power through

Flame’s getting higher
I feel em too
Reaching deep into the raging fire to find the light to power our way through

it was always gunna to get better
each summer longer than the last
lifestyles optimized
filling voids our parents never even knew they had

we could still make it better
each day better than the last
yeah we could make still things better

does it make you sad? all the dreams we left untapped
