lyrics

High on shoeshine
In the two-bed railroad
Contacts dry
Still up watching videos
Stumbled upon that scene
Where an airplane turbine crashes through the roof
From one of my favorite movies
When I was a shy kid in high school

And I remember the first time
HDMI at Payam's home
Although all my friends were there
I felt it spoke to me alone

Now I know
It was the same selfishness again
Driving out for pizza and cheesy bread
I was lying in the minivan trunk staring at the sky
Vaguely wishing the world would end
They were talking 'bout girls watching out for cops
Cause there were nine of us and some had hotboxed
I was thinking about earthquakes floods the wrath of God
And gathering forces beyond MVLA

Apocalypse is fine
When else would I get to save my loved one's lives
A fifth boardsman swooping in
Stooping on a second-hand Sector 9
Every day changed
No more freaking out about my GPA
NSA's a-calling saying
"We've been watching you all this time
So take this laser weapon prototype
See the invasion fleet make 'em meet their doom"

Flames would rise
Water would fall
Wormholes would open up
I'd score a date to the eschaprom

I was chewing on a burnt bit of crust
The slice was over cooked an extra minute or ten
When the pizza chick left it in the oven
Was the same kind of story playing in her head
When she stepped out
On a smoke break
I was the extra
She'd forgotten my face
I was whining inside
Poking scorched dough
Snapping those plastic fork tines

In my movie she'd probably die
What I mean is a pixel of CGI
Drowned in a digital tide
Guess who's kicking ass back at the storm's eye
Vorpal blade mirrored shades
Hasta la vista yippee ki yay
Bay rearranged like Lombard Street
From SF to San Jose
What say the starving souls in EPA
If it was all for a privileged kid to have his fun
Trading in all of the comforts of my mundane disappointment

Now I know back at Payam's place
We were all hypnotized
Yeah that shit was made for me for sure
And a few other million worldwide
Now I can laugh
At bunny suit prophecies
But that don't keep me from smelling like shoeshine
Watching YouTube after midnight
Terrified
