lyrics

walking down the street i have the light on my left, above and to my right
singing kids facing the sky
weeping willows and hanson singing out favourite songs
only comes once

and if you're lucky you'll surround with love

but if you're stubborn or confused or frightened i'd agree
to say that feeling nothing is still something worth being
cause i'm sure that bukowski at some point did love living
be the ignorant! be the free!

what happened between the age of 13

and 19 - well thats something i find hard to explain
were poisoned by the thought that being a child wasn't great
fed by lights and screens and pictures that could never be
once the ignorant, once the free

all your thoughts and all your dreams aren't as close as they seem
all your plans of starting something are all incomplete

but i woke up and ran out the house
and i looked up and fell to my knees
and i screamed

cause you can't tell me what i can't be
and you can't tell me that what i see
can't be real

cause we started something
while you're alone judging
what i should have been

well fuck you for thinking
that just for a second
i would lower myself
