Mall Kid (American Dream)

(album: Memos From Maine - 2022)

Fluorescent lighting, three stores left
So inviting, climb in bed
Old women walking to past the time
Guess their intentions look a lot like mine

Purgatory's the place to be
It's got two stories and a closed macy's
Former glory's got me on my knees
Its just another mouth to feed

Manic dreams in 2008
Waking nightmare, united states
White picket fences, too big to fail
Guess it'll take us all to hell

Purgatory's the place to be
It's got two stories and a closed macy's
Former glory's got me on my knees
Its just another mouth to feed

Laying in my bed
In sheets somebody suffered for
Decaying's for the best
Pretending's such ghastly chore
I don't quite know why
But the only place I find
A little morbid harmony
In the backroom mall security

Purgatory's the place to be
It's got two stories and a closed macy's
Former glory's got me on my knees
Its just another mouth to feed
