lyrics

I wonder what it would be like
To build a cabin in the woods
Play Thoreau for just a while
Sometimes I think I should
Sometimes I think I should

Break out of this electric fence
Pretend that it’s the good old days
Cut myself off, live in present tense
If you wanted you could come and stay
If you wanted you could come and stay

I don’t mean to be ungrateful
All of my problems sound so first world
The answers are hard to see
But we’re not all that we can be

But society is all online
It’d be too hard to stay in touch
I couldn’t tear out all my wires
Might get lonely cause I think too much
Might get lonely cause I think too much

I don’t mean to be ungrateful
All of my problems sound so first world
The answers are hard to see
But we’re not all that we can be

Can’t blame the world for what it is
Don’t miss the state of nature
We were struggling just to exist
So we named ourselves “creator”
So we named ourselves “creator”

I don’t mean to be ungrateful
All of my problems sound so first world
The answers are hard to see
But we’re not all that we can be
And I don’t know what the alternative would mean
Why can’t I just close my eyes and go to sleep?
