PARENTS PARENTS PARENTS

Cigarettes and blunt truthes, red wine, coffee beans
Proof lost to time, nothings ever quite what it seems
Holes to dig, walls to build, dirt to move,
Time to kill, roofs to fix, mouths to feed, earth to till

Five kids in the back of the dusty Hi-Ace
Rolling from the rainforest to Pacific Hiway
The sand is nice, the waters great
Sunset down at Shelly Beach, memories that I would never trade

These were definitely the best days
Freedom in the saltwater flowing in my ribcage
See, back at the base, 
I'm in my room, hiding away
Making music [in the dark] to dissociate

Nowadays I sit and wonder what was going on
Nowadays I sit and wonder what was going on
Nowadays I sit and wonder what was going on
What was wrong?

Shitty house, lovely home, isolated quiet zone
Where one could really lose their mind and [die alone]
(Okay)
Commune with the forest through the firewood
Dialup connection always taking up the telephone

Hmm -- how to explain how we were raised
Matt and Trey's allegory of the cave
Running loose through the rivers in the day
By night, we fried our minds in the television haze

Nowadays I sit and wonder what was going on
Nowadays I sit and wonder what was going on
Nowadays I sit and wonder what was going on
What was wrong?

Blame it on your parents parents parents
Parents parents parents parents parents
It's apparent in the way I tried to find a balance
Without strong inner emotional ballast

Mum and dad were scared children all along
We need to find the history before it's gone
Break the cycle you've been thrown upon, and the potential
To become a repeat of what you're running from

Father is as father does
Don't ever do what Donny Don't does

Nowadays I sit and wonder what was going on
Nowadays I sit and wonder what was going on
Nowadays I sit and wonder what was going on
What was wrong?
