lyrics

Across the table and she's celebrating
the Prada Marfa art installation
adopts a West Texas disposition
for the sake of landing an East Coast writing position
oh! the Freedom Tower she will find her niche
that's okay with me -- she's a pretty nice kid

So long to the days spent cursing the sun
self-hatred developed by pride and mammon
would you even believe me if I said I was free?
no longer a slave to that version of me?

In a bar at a rave at brunch with Ashley and her Bonobos 1 Oak friends
pointing out everybody else's flaws inside of my hairless head
one has a friend who has a friend who knows Sam Ray
I don't care what any of them have to say

So long to the days spent cursing the sun
self-hatred developed by pride and mammon
would you even believe me if I said I was free?
no longer a slave to that version of me?

Everything I thought I knew
rip it up again and start anew

Everything I thought I loved
snake in the grass, low-hanging fruit
