lyrics

Eyeing a window display
Just swipe to buy whatever’s in your way

What happened to shaded trees?
A piece of plastic, or an ocean breeze?
Is it the condiments that give it taste?
Is the wrapper just for waste?

The complexion of your face
The advertisements behind your eyes just race

The make-up stand and what you spoke
How much can you smear on?
The reflections of what you sold
For a dollar you can pawn
HEY
The floodgates are open now
The exquisite wait is through
Your head’s in the sand
Your knees on the ground
Is an ocean in you?
