Dylan Thomas
Lightyears
[Verse 1]
Hildrosa had me in the palm of her hand
Stalactite flowers made the ruins smell like Mom's perfume
And all the mommas before her

The excavation was gorgeous, illuminating, and awesome
But all I see are skeletons from two-thousand five-hundred thirty-million B.C

At some point, the aliens built Trumpian walls
Sequestering everybody in party-sized ossuaries
There was no more Cards Against Humanity at Dylan's house tonight

A hundred paces apart lay these commoners, unsexy
With shitty tastes in music and basic political takes
Buried under millennia of stuff I can't relate to

[Chorus]
Now you wouldn't believe this
But no one's ever told the truth
There's lightyears between us
No fucking way I'm trusting you

Now you wouldn't believe this
But you could never get to me
There's lightyears between us
So why'd we even try to meet
[Verse 2]
You haven't even said a word
Though you're running your mouth
In the noble pursuit of truth
Let's see what this guy has to offer to a million years of inconclusive, multicultural discourse
Let's get you a podcast (podcast)
And hip twenty-somethings from all across the nation will pretend
That you're bro-ing out with them

[Chorus]
Now you wouldn't believe this
But no one's ever told the truth
There's lightyears between us
No fucking way I'm trusting you

Now you wouldn't believe this
But you could never get to me
There's lightyears between us
So why'd we even try to meet

[Verse 3]
I'm tired of battling the suspicion
That nobody could ever mean anything real to me
These fragments of assholes pass through
With sound and fury and unfunny tweets I've already seen
Let's get me a big hole (big hole)
And all the awkward kids will glance down and see this little bitch with no life
[Bridge]
I flip-flop between thinking that music achieves nothing
And thinking that it can cause pain like you've never seen before
Well in either case I fucking hate you
Apparently, that web of lies that I created when we first met
Is getting torn down by a couple poorly-written verses
I'm sorry I guess

[Chorus]
Now you wouldn't believe this
But no one's ever told the truth
There's lightyears between us
No fucking way I'm trusting you

Now you wouldn't believe this
But all I ever wanted was a friend
There's lightyears between us
I'll keep on searching until the end
