lyrics

O, Modern World!
You make it hard to celebrate a single thing
It’s so much worse knowing how it all works
And I’ve been studying the blueprints
To the mechanism we’ve been building

Price tags hanging off of everything you
Love and funneling to evil men but
What we have belongs to no one else

You and I have some things in common
We’re both scared and we both stopped running
How about it now, how about it now
We don’t need any new construction
Just you and me and the means of production
How about it now, how about it now
The one joy we’re still allowed

Hey, Blotter Girl
I hear you’ve broken every window in this town
I never learned how to make empires burn
But I’ve still got your book of matches
Would you believe that you and I are in it?

Once you offered hotter conversation
I was shivering from expectation
Afraid to lose the precious spark of our youth
But there is hope
And you’re the proof

Some kinda taste lingers in your mouth
Whenever we kiss
Salt left behind from a boiled ocean
Turned into mist
When I’m with you I can see a future
Better than this
So much better than this
