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?
