wash up fam copycat you’ll get off soon enough let's all chat slowly go insane up late, vibrate like compressed waves start it all again these dreams don’t get me higher better off to save a breath blank eyes are rolling back to show the whites of when to prove you’re made of something but that won’t get you higher say goodbye childlike step back and wish the world was kinder these dreams don’t get me higher up late, vibrate like compressed waves compressed waves it’s always, it’s always, it’s always, it’s always so close to the wire when forty hours calculate to conspire midnight robs you senseless numbness fires the ones you love will say goodbye will I wake up and think it was all just a waste of time and if these dreams don’t get me higher my teenage self would be a lier with all the knowledge that you’ve gained compressed waves don’t hit you like they did in the ignorance of your wasted days
