lyrics

the lake has nightmares about my thrashing legs
your phone has panic attacks at the thought of me trying to call again
i feel guilty for being alive
i feel guilty for wanting to die

i wanna fly, don't wanna say
where i'll go, (it's all the way)
mixing up god with lovers
it's that high-up feeling that hovers
over me (oppressively)

by the prairie songs come out in tiny, frightened little gasps
but i drown all of them out with the brandy from my flask
i'm gonna dwell hard on that ache
i just gotta hurt this pain a little longer if i want it to go away

i wanna fly, don't wanna say
where i'll go, (it's all the way)
mixing up god with lovers
it's that high-up feeling that hovers
over me (oppressively)
