lyrics

Sloppy thrills, stains, and spills
Nervous system fire drills
Chasing highs and higher highs
Hopes hiked up on burning thighs

Drama fiends and dopamine zealots
All in the name of a distraction
While time forms a shiv
Hack away at dissatisfaction

More distracted than distraught
While the sun’s never shining
Call it wishful thinking
Call it silver lying

More distracted than distraught
In strange beds hiding
Call it optimism
Call it silver lying

Eyes dilated, dry, and diverted
Keep going ‘till were all too exerted
Sing a song of Icarus on high
Sing me his screams
As he fell from the sky

Angels over the city
Between shadows and the sun’s rays
Paying off doomsday insurance
Before the end of days

More distracted than distraught
While the sun’s never shining
Call it wishful thinking
Call it silver lying

More distracted than distraught
In strange beds hiding
Call it optimism
Call it silver lying

More distracted than distraught
While the sun’s never shining
Call it wishful thinking
Call it silver lying

More distracted than distraught
In strange beds hiding
Call it optimism
Call it silver lying
