This Modern World

This modern world really fucks me up

Daydreams of light beams, I live in a paper cup

I wanna live like my grandfather did

A payphone to phone home and dinner that’s homegrown

It’s hard to be grounded when nothing’s real

We’re so surrounded by things that we can’t feel

I have a best friend that I’ve never met

In California just surfing the internet

I’m lowering my bar I wanna sleep beneath the stars

I’ll throw my creature comforts far enough away where I can’t see

Oh they just weigh on me

This modern world is a slight of hand

We suffer in pleasures while chasing the promised land

What do you do when you get to the moon

When you reach the peak you’ve got nowhere to turn to

Wisdom and age don’t correlate

I’m taking lessons from wilding children

Rolling in mud washing off in the rain

We’re killing ourselves when we work more than we play

I’m lowering my bar I wanna sleep beneath the stars

I’ll throw my creature comforts far enough away where I can’t see

Oh they just weigh on me
