lyrics

Once when we were young, we left a home
and ended up stoned, and laying prone
and waiting for the bed to swallow hole all the endings of what we were told

Yeah you can see, I've come a long way since.
I couldn't help but flinch
at all the existential things I would let take over all my dreams.

If there's anything that I can do just let me know
'cause I'm standing here with my feet on the floor and my head in the sand

Though the endless slog of life can take its toll when you are sifting through the endless droll excuses people like to make for what causes them to fake their love

For what is real, when no one seems to buy what they can steal,
and as for me I try to give it back, but I end up on the rack

If there's anything that I can do just let me know
'cause I'm standing here with my feet on the floor and my head in the clouds

and we all shout
Save us! Save us all! from the scary monsters hiding, under our beds.

When we, were young, we left a home and ended up stoned
and trying to recapture what we had, when the endings didn't seem
so sad.
