Blast Damage Days
Whenever days slip away and every moment with me
Feels like I'm floating in space
Because I want to believe these are my halcyon days
But I'm afraid of my age and don't know anyone's name
Because I can't concentrate
Oh, I am never letting go of you
Whenever weeks slip away from being caught
In the wake of the American craze, the overtime, underpaid
These are the Amazon days, we are the binge watching age
And we'll be stuck in a screen until our phones fall asleep
I am never letting go of you
We'll get lost and wander off distracted by fake news
When our towns fall to the ground it won't shatter me
And you and when we're looking around at all the shit that went down
'Cause half of us were too scared and half of us were too proud to see
The systems we start are destined to fall apart
When we let power and greed corrupt our collective heart
Oh, I am never letting go of you
We'll get lost and wander off enraptured by fake doom
When our towns fall to the ground, oh, it won't shatter me and you
Whenever we feel ashamed being alive and awake in such an era of hate and military police
These are the mass murder days
We are the blast damage age where we can't love anything because they keep us afraid
Oh, I will be there kicking, fighting, beating, screaming
"There's no fucking way I'm ever letting go of you"
