[Verse 1]
If you're wondering Ahow we Dlanded Ghere
You were watching the Awaves and Ddrinking Gbeer
You don't even remAember sDtanding uBmp
Truly, I don't Emeither
[Verse 2]
At some point you Awaded Dto your Gwaist
As you slipped further Aout the Dstakes were Graised
Finally you were Asurrounded, Dand for wBmhat?
A water darker and Emdeeper
[Chorus 1]
In G1997 I beAcame myself
And D20 minutes later I began to Gmelt
The Gcycle I get used to in the cAourse of time
The Dshifting definitions that Gcomprise a life
The Gpeople I become and the Apeople I don't recogDnize
[Verse 3]
If you're wondering Awho Darranged the Gmess
Some exceptions were Amade to Dgrant, I Gguess
While we all let the Apeak of Dthe Bmparade
The underbelly went Emlethal
[Chorus 2]
In G2007 tried to Abuild a bridge
BetDween how I was living and how GI could live
I Gtricked myself into thinking AI'd done enough
DOnce I got across I didn't Gblow it up
GYeah, I closed some lanes, Aall it really takes is Done
[Bridge]
Opening Emto tear apaF#mrt all your Gworks
So fine you areD, delicateEm un-achieve F#mall your halfG-philosophy
DStyle points,Em blind beliefF#m a whirling perpGetuity
DThe ocean Emwarm that knows you F#mdid the same Gbefore
[Chorus 3]
So in G2017 we did Aaway with facts
DAll negotiation with a Gbattle axe
The Ggruesome ideology is Acenter shame
DAmerican identity was Glaid to waste
GWe're backlit and exposed
ASugar stripped and it's made Bmclean D Em
[Outro]
The Gpeople I become
The Apeople I can't replicatDe
