lyrics

You’re starting to like all the time you spend
Out there in nature
Digging a crater for all your friends
And their intentions
Oh did I mention I’m
Starting to see you for what you are

I admire your clarity of vision
I get too distracted
By something that isn’t a reasonable action
Pulled off of the course
But I made my way home by the light of your star

Gonna try to mispronounce this word
Gonna try to pretend like it’s something I intended from the beginning
Gonna turn the newspaper upside and say we’re winning
Even though defeat is close at hand

I’ve been getting inspired by birds
Getting caught up in patterns of winged migration like I’d never heard
That you need a little wanderlust if you just
Want to pull your head up from the sand

It’s nicer in this world
Nicer in this world with a distraction

Think about all of the time you spend learning
About all the dyads
That make up our biome we’re turning
From star stuff to dirt, may-be
God’s in the earth
And she’s starting to see us for what we are

I’m so tired of the symptoms of stress
So I run to the forest
Looking for wild growth like Laetiporus
And when I get lost I can
Make my way home by the light of your start

Gonna try to turn this channel down
Gonna try to cut off the string of talking heads who are all competing
I don’t want a play by play of how our heroes are retreating
I was a B student of the past

How many tiny houses to build a tiny town
How do we make sure that in a hundred years we will be around
Do you notice how I changed the subject
without being asked

It’s nicer in this world
Nicer in this world with a distraction
