Lyrics

The Focus

I wanna trip so hard
I wanna see an insect dream
I wanna fill you up
With all the states you've never seen

You're still trying to chase the thrill
Your pennies shining on the sill

I've gotta find human
I gotta find kindness hidden
I wanna let you know
We're gonna make our all time low

Cracked your disconnection crown
And I see the changes falling down

I left the summit without you
6,000 briefcases deep
The focus hovers above you
Your life has fallen asleep

I wanna trip so hard
I wanna a sacrificial dream
I wanna fill my head
With white thoughts and blood so clean

Cracked your disconnection crown
And I see the changes falling down

I left the summit without you
6,000 souls in a cloud
The focus hovers around you
'Cause your memory swallows the crown

I left the summit without you
6,000 briefcases deep
The focus hovers above you
Your life has fallen asleep

I left the summit without you
6,000 briefcases deep
The focus hovers above you
Your life has fallen asleep
