Nightmare Eyes

Wet summer nights
Sick sad dancing drunk eyes
Headlights through the trees
And a lake that sparkles fireflies
Burn baseball bat evidence
Burn a bonfire with all my friends

What a pretty girl
What a small small world
What do you think you're doing here?
She says "I outta be thankful
For my parents and college fund
I eat well, tell me what the hell
Do you think I'm doing here?"

They got those nightmare eyes
They wanna ruin your night
They got those nightmare eyes
They're shining orange and bright
They got those nightmare eyes
They watch you every night
While you, oh you
Are a moth in a porch light

(Instrumental)

Detach yourself, Donut Wolf
And trash a public bathroom
It's all just shapes and colors
With the right mindset
Late parking lots, a few more shots
Just clear your head
And maybe they'll all finally feel sorry
For the trauma that you have felt
The doctor says "Just trust your friends
And don't be by yourself"

They got those nightmare eyes
They wanna ruin your night
They got those nightmare eyes
They're shining orange and bright
They got those nightmare eyes
They watch you every night
While you, oh you
Are a moth in a porch light

We ride the backs of giant cosmic fleas
There is a hole in everyone, and a hole in everything
Is outer space really forgetting me?
If there is nothing to forget, and no one remembering

These tiny cities of ashes
These countless dumb circumstances
These somber prom night school dances
Mean nothing to the atoms inside of my bones
