Endless Summer
Endless haze of orange light
Cast upon the smog
Sweat alone and stain my seat
In my peerage crowd
Don't regret my actions long
Takes just too much time
Better spent trying to live
Make it day by day
Play to the rhythm of some dumb old sex song
Made by a gaggle of mediocre white men
Burning the oil just to survive
Another day so unforgiving
Stand in the light that makes me nauseous
Only thing that kills my hunger
All in all
It's all the same to me
Endless summer
Uncomfortable
Endless summer
Golden memory
Repel all within the crowd
With overwhelming stench
Sweaty kid who never cleaned
Noseblind to the deaf
Hundred feet from my old house
Hundred feet from school
Summer days eternally
Burnt my fragile skin
Just as unlikely to make it back then
Can't start a fire with all my fuel burnt
Can't blame my skin or my rank in my land
Once a loser, still a loser
Born depressed and only discovered
From the wreckage of a perfect ship
All in all
We're all upon a beach
Endless summer
Heartache, missing
Endless summer
Nostalgic, waiting
You've never been happy
Does it matter to me?
To form a memory
Remembered so fondly
Endless summertime
Burnt into my mind
If it once was fine
Why isn't it still fine?
