God Bless You

[Verse 1]

Thank you for that englishism

Time's a damn important prison

You wouldn't wanna waste it by having fun

Spoken like a true admirer

Leaning on a wire spire

Let it bend all the way 'til it breaks

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't say you want it all

You're a dog chasing cars

Running after a shooting star

[Chorus]

God bless you

We smell your fear

The pressure

To make this year

Something you wanna write home about

Instead we forward your post

To the same old address

Who cares to confess?

It's not quite what we'd hoped

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]

I thought of you when the light came on

Outside, just behind the speed bump

I was so blinded by this phantasm

That the toaster made me jump

We played text table tennis

You span a pirouette with each reply

I almost dropped my bat, but held it

Between my palms and both my thighs

[Pre-Chorus]

We can't close our eyes because we live for blue light

And I hear I'm a natural at dry-swallowing pride

But I was so excited for our online date that I sprayed perfume

A generation that can't pay attention and we don't quite rhyme

And every crisis is existential when every white wine is dry

[Chorus]

God bless you

Behind your eyes

Impounded

Grey paradise

Something you can't just scream about

You haven't learned the right words

Who'd care to explain why we feel

Trapped between earth and dirt?

[Bridge]

The future ain't lost

But I don't know where it's gone

Been parodied too long

You're feeling a song come on

'Cause every time you scream

You wonder, "Who speaks through me?"

It's worth the wait though, trust me

[Chorus]

God bless you

Behind your eyes

Impounded

Grey paradise

Something you can't just scream about

You haven't learned the right words

Who'd care to explain why we feel

Trapped between earth and dirt?

[Outro]

Dirt

Dirt

Dirt
