Lyrics

Although we often would wonder
There was no thing of wonder
The shit that flew from my mind's
Well grass stains and fresh fruit
Remind our shoes of horse glue
On this ridiculous climb

With great tall vision
We built ourselves a mission
To ride our motive's design

Oh what a vague description
Of what we had been missing
So why won't anyone try?

(Oh oh) it was always worth it
(Oh oh) that's the part I seem to hide
(Oh oh) and the busy ant empire
(Oh oh) put all your clothes inside

I wasn't always cargo
I was once, count 'em all
I guess I'll pack up my mind
Well it took so much effort
Not to make an effort
Oh what a flawless design

(Oh oh) it was always worth it
(Oh oh) that's the part I seem to hide
(Oh oh) and the busy ant empire
(Oh oh) put all your clothes inside

Even as I left florida..

(Oh oh) it was always worth it
(Oh oh) that's the part I seem to hide
(Oh oh) and the busy ant empire
(Oh oh) does all deserve to hide
(Oh oh) it was always worth it
(Oh oh) that's the part I seem to hide

Even as I left florida
Far enough, far enough, wasn't far enough
Couldn't quite seem to escape myself
Far enough, far enough, far from florida
We were all drowsing in cruise control
Far enough, far enough, wasn't far enough

I stood on my heart porch thinkin'
"Oh my god, I'll probably have to carry this whole load"
I couldn't remember if I tried
I couldn't remember if I took my brain out, threw it so directly at the goal
I couldn't remember if i.
I could have my mind erased
And still not know exactly what I don't already know

Even as I left florida
