lyrics

Scrambled reflection
Of sunrise awakenings
Open hearts and bruised knees
Grass stains but no sense of reality

Fall asleep on the couch, wake up in bed
Rainy car rides are racing, through my head
Can't shake this dread
Adolescent deathbed

Shortbread kisses
And side kick plushies
Cartoons at midnight
Reminiscing yet it's getting grainy

Fall asleep on the couch, wake up in bed
Rainy car rides are racing, through my head
Can't shake this dread
Adolescent deathbed

Fall asleep on the couch, wake up in bed
Rainy car rides are racing, through my head
Can't shake this dread
Adolescent deathbed
