lyrics

I think we disagree on the role of cops in society
Some days you want their funding doubled, some days I want it cut entirely
To prove it, you use words I haven’t heard in three years
Cause my peers have deemed them absurd

As much as I want to dig my hole in the ground
and pretend that I’m above the work that my friends have carved out
I can’t hibernate in this terrorist state that surrounds

Driving through this country of big skies
I see the fencepost killers and assume you reject your peers who sympathize
Flying through my friends list at 4am - those faces staring back don’t resemble my friends
It’s bastardized Thoreau over every post-modern dead-end

Where to go - Montana or Tokyo? There’s an FNB meeting three hours away. I guess I wanna go home.
