i was in a bottle
crossed my eyes, it hurt to swallow
another glass of red to sink the blues
but i fell to pieces
and i carried new diseases
you just whistled for your dogs to howl too
so lock your doors
turn on your phone
try to make yourself at home
i don’t want to be alone in this
god damn oh god bless america
i remember thinking
that the mortal wave was breaking
we’d be headed back to new york in july
but i think it’s sticking
yeah the lesson’s finally clicking
so give me liberty or give me lies
i used to root for the good guys
until everything changed
they flew a bird through your window
and they spat in your face
so we shot a hundred weddings
and we thought and we prayed
checked for bombs inside their lockers
with our guns out the safe
a colony of bloody debtors
that can never repay
we’re simultaneously
digging out a bunker and grave
i was singing hallelujah
‘cause it’s how i was raised
but couldn’t listen to the sermon
or the lessons in faith
so now i’m listening to the people
who have something to say
i wanna walk a little taller
down american way
i want to breathe a little deeper
in an athsmatic age
my fucking land of the free
my work-from-home of the brave

the place you use to grow a baby's breath
turns into a hole you hang a cigarette
everyone you know, your friends and family
they're never more than one bad month from poverty
will i lose myself?
will i lose you?
what else could i lose?
it's over
with your bloodshot eyes you see this
and i'm older
time is slipping out of my weak grip
you're screaming
and you're cracking now i feel it
i can't make out the words
but god, i feel it
could i lose myself?
could i lose you?
what else could i lose?
i turn 26 this year, 2020
