The Lawn

She know a place where troubles die
Replaces them with hazy highs
Her mother is preoccupied with choosing her new hair

She hops the fence with friends in tow
The fields are green the grass is mowed
In daylight it's a place where children play
At night even the cops stay away

So pull out the treats you bought
From the man in grey around the block
Digging in like animals
To feel that high, even if it falls

Dream of lights and cityscapes
Smoke in lungs and heads in space
Spin around and laugh and cry, let time pass us by
Teenage years are meant to waste
Uniforms of silk and lace
Will fall away as we all lose our minds

When she leaves she doesn't know
Her head is fogged, her eyes are slow
Pleasure's a place with grassy lights
Where she'll spend the rest of her nights
This is the place I'll keep on living
This is the place my ex blew chunks in
Forgot to hold up her hair, screaming kids were everywhere
Fogging your head and it's impossible to feel anything at all

Dream of lights and cityscapes
Smoke in lungs and heads in space
Spin around and laugh and cry, let time pass us by
Teenage years are meant to waste
Uniforms of silk and lace
Will fall away as we all lose our minds
