Strip Lights

Oh, my god

What is this dystopia

That I blinked and we're floating in?

TV clips online

From 1995

Are my make-believe medicine

Sit in the bar and listen

I just blur my vision

Till the sparkles are just colored dots

I don't wanna be in this reality

Of dying ends as we pretend

Everything is better than it ever has been

It's not your fault

I think I lost my light

My guiding star is hiding somewhere tonight

And honestly

I think I'm finding it hard just to be

Nothing new

Wish the opposite were true

But the territory has been worn

Thе patterns appear

With the roots in my hair

Can't run from the way you were born

I leave to no surprise

And as my lift arrives

Sit in the back seat

Chapel Street flashing by

I stare out to space

Apologize in case

But when I say goodnight

Voices fight

Whisper like a phaser through my stereo mind

And it's not my fault

I think I lost my light

My guiding star is hiding somewhere tonight

And honestly

Think I'm finding it hard just to be

I know it will pass, I know it will pass

I know it won't last forever, we'll stay together

I know it will pass, I know it will pass

I know it won't last forever, we'll be together

I know it will pass, I know it will pass

I know it won't last forever, we'll stay together

I know it will pass, I know it will pass

I know it won't last forever, we'll be together
