lyrics
The summer light, it wastes away like my youth hitting its peak.
This august night, flows into chilling air--calling all the light back to sleep.
Don't wonder why, there's no time to think before you leap.
On this road, honestly,
my own voice brings me down.
On our way, honoring,
the thoughts that always drown.
The heart and hate,
heart and hate,
meditation only says,
"dissociate, dissociate,"
medication only says,
"this magic pill,
magic pill,
will help you live
and help you work."
"nh' pay the bills, pay the bills!"
Keep your mind one step behind the dirt.
The summer light, it wastes away
like my youth, hitting its peak.
This august night, flows into chilling air,
calling all the light back to sleep.
Don't wonder why, there's no time to think before you leap.
On this road, honestly,
my own voice brings me down.
On our way, honoring,
the thoughts that always drown.
The heart and hate,
heart and hate,
meditation only says.
"dissociate, dissociate,"
medication only says,
"this magic pill,
magic pill."
The heart and hate,
heart and hate,
meditation only says.
"dissociate, dissociate,"
medication only says,
"this magic pill,
magic pill."
