lyrics

We were a bunch of children
whose legs grew up and ran
away from home
and away from where we belong.
we felt strong,
but we were only children.
We bought fire from men who looked like kings
but quickly we grew unclean and alone.

We carried on burning flags and leaving breadcrumbs.
We traded our favorite toys for others' bedrooms.
We left our souls while we fucked in silence.
For what?!

We thought there was something.
Something brighter than
the neon gods in tavern windows.
We learned to forget our parables
in the liquid twilight.

We turned our radios up
and learned to sing along!

Tell me I'm a man now
and I'll tell you I love you.
Even though we both know,
or at least we think we know,
we're incapable of something so adult.

Sometimes mellow and bittersweet; a songbird at your window sill and at other times a thunderous full-throated roar of emotive stomping and hollering like a wild preacher of the end-times!
