If you're wondering how we landed here

You were watching the waves and drinking beer

You don't even remember standing up

Truly I don't either

At some point you waded to your waist

As you slipped further out the stakes were raised

Finally you were surrounded and for what

A water darker and deeper

In 1997 I became myself1997

And 20 minutes later I began to melt20

The cycle I get used to in the course of time

The shifting definitions that comprise a life

The people I become and the people I don't recognize

If you're wondering who arranged the mess

Some exceptions were made to grant I guess

While we all let the peak of the parade

The underbelly went lethal

In 2007 tried to build a bridge2007

Between how I was living and how I could live

Tricked myself into thinking I'd done enough

Once I got across I didn't blow it up

Yeah I closed some lanes

All it really takes is one opening to tear apart all your works

So fine you are

delicate un-achieve all your half-philosophy

Style points blind belief a whirling perpetuity

The ocean warm that knows you did the same before

So in 2017 we did away with facts

All negotiation with a battle axe

The gruesome ideology is center shame

American identity was laid to waste

We're backlit and exposed

Sugar stripped and it's made clean

The people I become

The people I can't replicate
