Lyrics

The humid air we take for granted
Reminds me of the sweet floods of tears
(We all must've shed)
I drove through the sky's road
And it brought me here

Coasting the wider roads
I stare into the sunset
The side of their land we'd hope to see it on
But my eyes see clear
They stay wide open
An orange held low by the haze
It was the sun

Humming birds zip
Their lives not to live
They're layin' at doorsteps
Burns on your hips
We travel to space and let them cook

(And I swear I hear)

Buzzing power lines
They're lighting fires
Sparks of greed consume my mind
Such a waste of time to assume
That anyone might be right

The humidity we rush to leave
Infused with guilt and fear
(Illusions of help)
I drove through the sky's road
And it brought me here

My guitar strums the same chords across the ocean
The side of the world we'd hope to hear it on
But my eyes see clear
Hope you're holdin'
And with my teeth I hold your gun

I fear for my parents
One day they'll have to hear me sing and play
Hope they don't read too deep into what I say

My point of views and character
They haven't raised me this way
Internalized views from before my time
Such a strange sense of wrong or right

Hold your hands together
And god will love you
But not forever
Or without consequence

Hold your hands together
And pray to him
To have been born different

Will they understand?
(I don't think so)
Will they understand?

Hold your hands together
And god will love you
But not forever
Or without consequence

Hold your hands together
And pray to him
To have been born different

(Will they understand?)

Hold your hands together
And god will love you
(Will they understand?)
But not forever
Or without consequence

(Will they understand?)

Hold your hands together
And pray to him
(Will they understand?)
To have been born different

(Will they understand?)

Hold your hands together
And god will love you
(Will they understand?)
But not forever
Or without consequence

(Will they understand?)

Hold your hands together
And pray to him
(Will they understand?)
To have been born different

(Will they understand?)

Hold your hands together
And god will love you
(Will they understand?)
But not forever
Or without consequence

(Will they understand?)

Hold your hands together
And pray to him
To have been born different

Hold your hands together
And god will love you
(Will they understand?)
But not forever
Or without consequence

(Will they understand?)

Hold your hands together
And pray to him
To have been born different

Hold your hands together
And god will love you
(Will they understand?)
But not forever
Or without consequence

(Will they understand?)

Hold your hands together
And pray to him
To have been born different

Hold your hands together
And god will love you
(Will they understand?)
But not forever
Or without consequence

(Will You understand?)

Hold your hands together
And pray to him
To have been born different

Hold your hands together
And god will love you
(Will they understand?)
But not forever
Or without consequence

(Will You understand?)

Hold your hands together
And pray to him
To have been born different

(Will You understand?)
California's haze
Just like blankets
(Will You understand?)
Drowns out the sound of my voice
(Will You understand?)
California's haze
Just like blankets
(Will You understand?)
Envelopes the Earth
You have no choice

(Will You understand?)
California's haze
Just like blankets
(Will You understand?)
Drowns out the sound of my voice
California's haze
(Are you ready?)
Just like blankets
(C'mon)
Envelopes the Earth
(Whoo!)
You have no choice
