Orange Wine

[Verse 1]

I think I'm gonna need a lawyer

How am I gonna get out of this one?

I'm in too deep, my dream won't let me sleep

How am I gonna get out of this one?

The cost of living is a horror

The loss of dying is relentless as the summer sun

Nothing's for free, it's 93 degrees

How did we end up here?

[Chorus]

Where the hills are alive

Podcasters on legal speed

Actin' natural on homegrown weed

Composting organic ego feed

Talking the fabric of time

Drinking orange wine

[Verse 2]

In a different kind of headspace

Where faces erase and come back to life

And re-identify where thrill-seekers come to die

Where ex-writers write again

Where eyeliner melts, where the heat is dry

Bud Lights and hot flashes

Trying to smile with your eyes

Let it be known that you might still hold out hope

[Verse 3]

And that the joy is still there underneath the filters

And videos of taking pictures

And avatars trying to capture the stars

As they're burnt out and burning

In the forever, blurry far

[Chorus]

Where the hills are alive

Podcasters on legal speed

Actin' natural on homegrown weed

Composting organic ego feed

Talking the fabric of time

(Drinking orange wine)

[Bridge]

Where the news is obscene, doomscrolling like a fiend

Living outside my body and outside my means

Like I'm the king of the blind-faith queens

Like it's already mine (Drinking orange wine)

Making more content but it don't make you content

Still won't make any dent in your mountain of debt

Don't know where all your money went

But you know it's by design (Drinking orange wine)

Got algorithms to serve, autopilots to swerve

It's a mad, mad world and we're just watching it burn

Sorry I left you on read, I'm a ghost but not dead

It's just so overwhelming knowing there is no ending

And the starts keeps starting, the dogs keep barking

The connection is fading, we're barely relating

I don't know what else to say, but it's been on my mind

Drinking orange wine

[Outro]

With the dreamers and the movers and the takers

With the lovers and the losers and the fakers

Alone, sittin' home wide awake, killin' time

Drinking orange wine
