Squint Lyrics

Tried to stay still
The schoolyard's so apocalyptic
Reject your will
You'll find it's not your own
Starting to seem
Your love may not be worth the roof that
Covers your head and stands for such a threat
No trust at all
How could they expect less than a half-truth
Can't speak a word
Mom's such a matriarch
Squint tighter and they're gone

There's much less noise
It costs so much to make the phone ring
No sound of cars
The highway's far away
When you place blame
Try to look past all their badges
If you squint hard
you'll find some beauty in it all
Squint tighter and they're gone
