EXISTENTIAL DREAD by Tenyearsago Lyrics

[Sample, tenyearsago speaking]

Part of me wishes I hadn't taken that fall
Like, that addiction a few years back... haha, it drove me wild!
Kinda crazy, isn't it?
Listen, don't- don't be like me
It's- It's not enviable. Don't strive for it

[Verse 1]

Skylights, sending me high
This was all I had, this was all we had
Text message sent at 9:05
This was all we had, this was all we fuckin' had

You gaze into my delights
This was all I gave, this was all we gave
Senselessly tryna read your mind
This is all we gave, was it really all a game?

[Mini-bridge]
Long ago we knew nothing better
But now I've grown and I've started getting better...

[Sample. tenyearsago speaking]

NOW LET'S FUCKIN' RIDE THIS EXISTENTIAL DREAD!

[Chorus]

Screaming into nightlights, havin' us a good time
Rainbows shining so high, wishin' ourselves a good life (Hey!)
Poppin' nothin' but good vibes now, good vibes now, good vibes now
Dumpin' off all our dread right now, dread right now, dread right now (Hey!)
Screaming into nightlights, havin' us a good time
Rainbows shining so high, wishin' ourselves a good life (Hey!)
Poppin' nothin' but good vibes now, good vibes now, good vibes, good vibes, good vibes, good vibes-

[Verse 2]

Your ringtone, blarin' in my ear
This was all I could do, this was all we could do
June 2021, a real pitiful year
This was all I could think, this is all we could think

Events, gettin' all mundane
This has gotten dull, this has gotten really dull
Chuggin' through life slowly like an elder train
When did we screw up, when the hell did we screw up?
[Mini-bridge]

Long ago we knew nothing better
But now I've grown and I've started getting better...

[Sample. tenyearsago speaking]

NOW LET'S FUCKIN' RIDE THIS EXISTENTIAL DREAD!

[Chorus]

Screaming into nightlights, havin' us a good time
Rainbows shining so high, wishin' ourselves a good life (Hey!)
Poppin' nothin' but good vibes now, good vibes now, good vibes now
Dumpin' off all our dread right now, dread right now, dread right now (Hey!)
Screaming into nightlights, havin' us a good time
Rainbows shining so high, wishin' ourselves a good life (Hey!)
Poppin' nothin' but good vibes now, good vibes now, good vibes, good vibes, good vibes, good vibes

I guess I've gotten a handle on it. Needless to say, I wish I could take it back
My body can't handle anything because of it. Guess it's a good lesson for the kids
Don't do drugs. And don't waste time on people who don't care about you
Because in the end... All you're doing is hurting yourself
Good luck out there, sport
