lyrics

A funeral march for when we were young
and our dreams were as tall as buildings
We went on a hunch, made our way to the front
where we were the loudest cheering

Can’t fight the clock
Rewind the day
The second hand
The tape delay
Progression built
Electric cars
While filling graves
And DVRs

I wanna be a kid again
playing Crystal Version in my bed
blanket draped over my head
and the world on pause
Look inside your crystal ball
can you see anything at all?
The future or a curtain call
with no crowd’s applause?

We pulled out our thorns
We listened for the horns
Maybe we were born to suffer
And the fruit that we ate
Man that tasted great
And we all want a little power

A lock of hair
We traded spit
Told you my love
Was counterfeit
You didn’t mind
You took me in
Licked all my wounds
Confederate

Still I wanna be a kid again
playing Crystal Version in my bed
blanket draped over my head
and the Worm Light on
Instead of just repeating days
liquid crystal on display
beam it straight into my brain
till it’s all right on
