lyrics

Lyrics written by Austin Morrell

I got a singular kind of purpose in mind
I want to see all the squares here get so damn high that you scream
Think im the devil, try to sell me your life
I’ll offer you something silly like the publishing rights
To a song that I wrote about how you felt,
For a talented man that just couldn’t get loose enough
When you give up on life
We lose a star out of the sky
Its like a universal treatise
We need all the starry eyes
To break free of this sphere
I wont bother to say it twice
But find a way to get up on somethin
Earth kin
We gotta reach out and get over this politic
We wanna sing in other galaxies
Give aliens lsd
We wanna find a bigger knowing
Than earthlings can see
But how can we write that symphony
If we’re still this capitalist disease
The terrestrial hunger
That makes us what we are
Will consume us if we proceed with
Fixating on what we aren’t
And striving to out-consume our neighbors
Instead of getting in tune with our desires

I want to sing in other galaxies
Give aliens lsd
I want to at least experience gravity visibly distorting space
Before i write that song that sums it up for all my days

There is a maniac that follows me
Mostly all of the time
I think he’s starting to learn my schedule
I can see it in his eyes
There is no wholesome guiding principle
To the patterns in our lies
We’re just stumbling blindly onward
