Consume faster than we can process
Connecting together through different concepts
Ideas all seeking context
Feeling unfulfilled, move onto the next project
Some playground bands are ripping off Pavement
There's nothing left to say, just blanket statements
I heard it once, won't hear it again
It went over my head but it stays in my top ten
Once it's all over I've still got some questions
I don't think I walked away with all the right lessons
"Art can be what you want it to be"
But there's a fine line to twisting it to your needs
Everybody wants to be sincere
But irony doesn't always come off so clear
Miscommunication will be the death of me
Or maybe I meant it, if enough people agree
But we're all growing, and so am I
I'll try to explain if it comes out dry
cheap imitator or a real innovator
Hard when originality comes in only so many flavours
How much nostalgia can be trauma?
I can build up good karma if I show up in their honour
If I set my mind to it, what if I succeed?
How much can I say before it gets back to me?
Coming back with a clear conscious
Been months since I've wrote
creativity's been gone since
I have my art but I don't want to digest
Stuck inside, trying to invent
But discovery always doesn't come in tv
Movies, books, though sometimes it can be
clear communication is all that we need
Sometimes you just have to accept that you won't always be pleased
I know I can be mean, I'm a sinner
Walking through life like a total beginner
I won't try to state my case
Sometimes things don't warrant debates
Lately I can't be apologetic
Won't keep you around if you don't get it
I can try to teach, not to be harsh and twisted
Don't be misguided, don't dilute the message
We've hit the last generation
There's no one left to blame
But things are different, they'll never be the same
It's no shame, what a time to be alive
I really mean it, I hope we can survive
And walk away with the rest of our pride
Pretention could be the death of me
But it's all in good faith, as things should be
We're all growing, I'm sure we try
But how much of us have the time?
To walk on through with a different position
Quick to speak but never to listen
Go for pitchforks, myself included
Sometimes we're good and sometimes it's clueless
There's good intentions, the best in mind
Fight the good battles but don't be afraid to climb
All things said
We're moving on the course
