We’re burning up energy slowly paying no mind to the passing time
Trying not to get fed up, never making our bed up or even leaving the house
Pushing our way through the winter, and we’re supplementing sunshine with vitamin D pills
Taking in breaths, what we got left is springing up from the ground

We’re turning our homes into messes and laughing at god as if he’d ever bless us
We can empty the bottle and dig into the bottom, strip the roots from the ground
Peel back the old linoleum away from the concrete that’s coldly holding
Take a knife to the bedrock, we’re in with the modern, and we're out with the rot

We thought about telling you something of substance, after 30 odd year of floating above it
But don’t you dare quote us, don’t you even think of writing it down
We got to keep up our reputations, our public projections, our human relations
Turning words into water, water to wine and wine into one of those things you might hide behind

We’re sending our blood to the bottom, watching chemicals do laps in our bodies
We’re pictures of health, right as the rain, but we’re pounding our hearts and we’re straining our brains
We always hoped we might get back this way, maybe cash in a couple vacation days
Got our eyes on our phones and we think we’re gonna miss the rain

Our pens hit the page, horrible things to say
To annihilate the enemy, we say em anyways

Everyone I know is off to the war
Wearing out their jeans and all getting old
I will wear it well till it wears me down to the core
Everyone I know is off to the war
