⨀ Lyrics
Tired eyes
Like coffee stains
In old Penguin books
My mother read
My mind gets overwhelmed
When I think
Of all the people
I’ve met

The last few times
I could feel the pain
Just by the way they looked
Never mind what they said
These days life seems full of dread
Like if you blink
You might miss it all
And you’ll be dead

Take me back to childhood naps
When everything was new
Running off to school and back
Back to childhood naps

Fistfights
Covered in film grain
Becoming firewood
For a burning bayonet
That cuts you a new breath
So you won’t sink
All the way down the waterfall
To start again

Take me back to childhood naps
When everything was new
Running off to school and back
Back to childhood naps
Back to childhood naps
Back to childhood

Tired eyes
Like coffee stains
In old Penguin books
