Name: Mall Madness
Duration: P00H02M03S
Description: I read a poem by a wonderful writer who called themselves AK. And they wrote about the illusion of childhood. I really connected with that, especially since it fell in with the theme of earlier songs on this record - themes where we tell ourselves lies to make ourselves feel certain ways. This one is for the lies we tell ourselves about how it was when we were young.

lyrics

Cold basement
Turn the space heater on
Come over
Kill the whole afternoon

Mall Madness
But you're missing the cards
Head home when
All the streetlights come on

Won't realize
It's the lie of your life
Point fingers
Then you fall on the knife

Sincerely
I say 'thank you' instead
Not sacred
It remains in your head
