Lyrics

True North

So don't mind going on

Feels like I'm doing laps around everyone

Healing factor turning on

Take your pills

Let's get it off another day

When it's time to go outside

Please leave your shades at home

You look like such a dick sometimes

Yeah, look who's talking

I know

We all want to go out and play

Know that it's not...

Know that it's nothing

We all want to go out and play

It's not that bizarre

And know that it's nothing

Daylight embracing darkness

Always feels like they're racing death to the porch

Crust of the earth is flaking off

Changing the time zones

Confusing the true north

Here is the note that I won't avoid

Hear when I say this now

When static is all that's left on the phone

Feel free to change the channel

Healing factor turning on

Take your pills

Let's get it off another day

When it's time to go outside

Please leave your shades at home

You look like such a dick sometimes

Yeah, look who's talking

I know

We all want to go out and play

Know that it's not...

Know that it's nothing

We all want to go out and play

It's not that bizarre

And know that it's nothing

Starlight is blazing and it's the only source of illumination of course

Where are the humans taking off?

Shedding the ozone

Finding a new home

This is the number

Please look it over

Everything else is just a distractor

This is the number

Please look it over

Everything else is just a distractor

This is the number

(Shoving extinction off)

Please look it over

Everything else is just a distractor

This is the number

(Shoving extinction off)

Please look it over

Everything else is just a distractor
