Kick Me Out

It’s so cold

Opening the door

Trying to walk some other line

I used to walk before

All around me is change and I see

All the places I used to belong

That I don’t wanna be

And the others pointing back at us

Fetishize some golden age that never really was

They manufacture their towns and their sites and their sounds

’Til it all looks alike, you know they make it so easy

Kick me out

You’re not here, are you anymore

When you’re so caught up in how you think it oughta go

That you don’t even know your own song, but

You want us to learn every line and try to sing along

But we don’t wanna carry it around

All your petty morals add up to nothing anyhow

You’re so immersed in your culture of fear

When you fall, I don’t wanna be near

You’re gonna make it so easy

Kick me out

And I’m here talking at myself

Trying to make sense of it all like anybody else

I see it tangled in front of my face

And I wonder sometimes to myself if I can get it straight

But I’d rather be struggling in the haze

Than here among the brutally average for another day

For you it’s all an attempt to escape, and it’s fine

But don’t be so surprised when other people say

Kick me out
