Lightning Gum Lyrics

So I start out following you leading

But messages I heard were deceiving

At thirteen, my template in pieces in my hand

So I sandboxed my heart in a fantasy land

Why don't you

Take a bite on it

Why don't you

You just chew on it

Lightning gum

Teenage life ain't fun

When you gotta bite your tongue

To hide your lightning gum, woah

So I load up my conscience

After weighing my best judgement down, at the bottom of the ocean

And trying to hide away, everyone hears me say

I can be everything at once

Everything

Sunrise? No! This son lied and got burnt by the rain

Thinking maybe that's gonna be the only way

With all these guys around, oh he's never going to find a way

Woah lightning gum,

Bite marks on my tongue

Pretend years on the run,

And chewing lightning gum, woah

And it's no coincidence

That I laid to rest all my best intentions

Old Major I'm sorry

Fought hard but lost the ground

Promise, I felt like fighting for once

But oh, I got a headrush

And then I took a bite of it

So why don't you just chew on it

Then maybe you'd see something out there for me

Or maybe you'd see all of these unspoken dreams

Take a bite on it

Come hang out in my head

Books and filing cabinets

Full of denial in my head

Take a ride on it

This roller coaster in my head

Maybe we'll die from it

But I know rebirth must come, the last bite of lightning gum
