Something So Promising Lyrics

Driving through the countryside

Sadness sets in

I did not recognize it

I felt it as fear instead

Like something so promising

Is going so wrong

The food does not expire

The lights absorb the moths

I scrape their bodies from the window

Wipe their little hairs off

He lights a joint

And stares the mirror

Sings his mother's name

Cheering on the start of nothing

Ambition swallows us again

When something so promising

Is going so wrong

Something so promising

Is going so wrong

Gas stations became my culture

Plastic is the food of my people

I put the blood on my windshield

So death would pass over

Death will pass over

Now there are no walks to skate on

A pile of tires gather like bison

Outside my house

A swastika scraped

Into the sidewalk

Everyday

Something so promising

Is going so wrong

Something so promising

Is going so wrong

Something so promising

Is going so wrong

Something so promising

Is going so wrong
