Folklore Lyrics

Look at you

Living off the grid at 22

You dropped out of college

Citing hunger to discover the truth

Oh you sure look cool

In your rustic 40's shack

Always in a rush to remind us

That you're never coming back

It must be so cool

Hiding from the world at 22

You're the man

Who couldn't escape his folklore (folklore)

Oh you're the man

Convinced you had the whole thing figured out

You look at her

You know she hates you deeply

But you still catch yourself dreaming now and then

You find the photographs

From your com tech class

Then remember that you're never going back

Angelina

How a memory can eat you alive

You know you need her

But you slammed that door so long ago

And she's never coming back

Now you're the man

Trying to live in a folklore (folklore)

Oh you're the man

Collapsing from the inside out

Cause no amount

Of Walmart fairy lights

Strung from suffocating 2x4's

And a beaten bright blue porch screen door will help

Cause distance never fades a memory

Racing pants

Checkered vans

Wreaking havoc in your mind

Projector flower photoshoots

What a time to be alive

And you missed it

You deserve this

To be the man

Never to escape his folklore (folklore)

You're not the man

Don't let anyone convince you otherwise
