lyrics

we're so fucking small there's no space for us all
please get me out of here
we're so fucking small there's no space I'm gonna drown
and I can't swim off of this rock without a little help
and the borders we've created are impossible to cross
look around, what have we done?
We can't just walk away no we can't get out alone
so will you hold my hand and pull me through to the other side?

and on the other side there's a world without borders
without boundaries, and people who police them
and on the other side there's a world without countries
and we don't shoot missiles over fucking fabric
and in this world there are no peace treaties
there's always peace and there's not freedom
cuz we're all free

we're all fucking crazy but we're not crazy at all
we're just trying to fit inside their box
and I can't follow recipes when I make anything
so why am I trying to please anyone but me?
so maybe you should lock me up and I'll tell you the key
to crossing over that line
and then they'll shut you up and then we'll pick the locks
like the dumpster behind the veggie chop that belongs to otter box

and on the other side there's a world without borders
without boundaries, and ourselves who police them
and on the other side there's a world without faggots
cuz we're all faggots, at least a little bit
but in this world we're everything that surrounds us
so we can't let it keep us in boxes
cuz we're all free

and when the government shuts down this fall
I'll go down to Mexico
and while the men in suits collect their paychecks
there will be distance, thousands of miles between us
but what do people and paychecks have in common?
nothing really, except we let them
let's get out of here

and on the other side there's a world without borders
without boundaries, cuz we won't make them
and I won't lie and say that it'll be perfect
there will still be crying, still be hurting
but on the other side there's a world without standard
and I think you're beautiful, not like the magazines
and in this world I'll learn to love you better
cuz freedom won't be just a trite word
