[Verse]
First day of 8th grade
The stupidest backpack
Regretted it
As soon as I stepped out of the car
Neon green acid wash
To last me the whole year
I loved it in Phoenix at the mall with my Grandma
So I’ll never be cool here
It’s under the surface
With skaters and surfers
I crave an identity
That I can’t buy at Mervyn's
Escape to my headphones
But christian rock worship
Was starting to pale
To what I was immersed in

[Chorus]
Magnetic vibrations
One with the weather
And the cold wavеs
A sea and a mountain
In their eroding еmbrace
Forever
[Verse]
Alone in my room with
A haunted religion
Wormwood and Screwtape
And a witch’s invitation
Tongues talking spirit
Kneeling to listen
A novel about demons
That christians weren’t missing
As kids we were taught
By the blood they can’t kill you
In this book they do
And I need to know what’s true
We live by the bible college
Dad had a job at
After school I would
Ride my bike to the Spot
Play ping pong with freshman
Just hit it all back
Don’t attack
They'll make mistakes
And start questioning everything
My folks went to school here
When they were just twenty
Started their romance
Waited til marriage
A shining example
Of what was expected
Allowed to have sex then
Can’t wait til I get there
[Chorus]
Magnetic vibrations
One with the weather
And the cold waves
A sea and a mountain
In their eroding embrace
Forever
