lyrics

I was sitting in the back, doin the mental math
Trying to figure out
How much longer I had to sit there
Cause my feet are tired, my ass is sore
My mind is numb from the conversation
I've got a million other things on my mind
Like poverty and the fight against starvation
But they're one tracked in on Ralph Lauren
With their collar popped
They're drowning in their indignation

Well you know I've tried in so many ways
To find a reason for what I'm doing
It's a mystery to me why I'm sitting here
What the hell do I think I'm proving

Give me a time and reason
Give me a lesson, life is for learning
I want to grow to the bounds of infinity
Fill up a nation with my energy

I was staring at the stars
Mumbling to myself
Just thinking about life as a constellation
And how we project ourselves onto everything
That's when I came to the realization
It's like instinctively they're all basically
Terrified and afraid of being alone
And so collectively they're losing their ability
To maintain control

Well you know I've tried in so many ways
To find a reason for what I'm doing
It's a mystery to me why I'm sitting here
What the hell do I think I'm proving

Give me a time and reason
Give me a lesson, life is for learning
I want to grow to the bounds of infinity
Fill up a nation with my energy

She looks at me with those bright eyes
I know I have no need to fight
She looks at me with those bright eyes
I know I see the light

Give me a time and reason
Give me a lesson, life is for learning
I want to grow to the bounds of infinity
Fill up a nation with my energy
