lyrics

I'm euphoria
I'm a warrior
I'm aurora borealis, yeah I'm glorious.
But if I'm boring ya, with all these stories of
me, myself, and I then I'll tell you 'bout Gloria.
Before she, uh, lost it I guess,
she was a rich ass girl who never had much sex,
wearing a white dress, Sundays were the best.
Graduating now, but still chained to the desk,
so that night she took off the bullet proof vest,
took some shots just to meet some friends.
She learned how booze was a means to an end,
learned how to get with the dude whippin' a Benz.
Hot boxed with a shock top lickin' the vodka
off a cock and gettin' painted like Bob Ross.
Ga-ga, bad romance in the back of a hot rod.
I call that a hangover, god damn.

[HOOK]
The clean, the nourished,
the lucky who flourish,
Cherubs turn nervous in the dark.
Too good for too long
and wanting to be wrong,
and restless,
wide eyed for the guest list.
[HOOK]

Mouth dry like an ash tray,
sun rays wake her up to colors bathed in gray.
Procrastinate another job application,
keeps her resume down in her mom's basement.
Two years ago she flunked her first quarter,
Greek life was the life, got all the drugs for her.
College without knowledge, too good to be true,
lived in a fantasy picking magic mushrooms,
and soon her glasses weren't for whiteboards.
Sparked her reds with her specs just like a fly lord,
like a savage who's adage was 'IDGAF',
well I think that's fine if it's said between laughs,
but Gloria was adoring the pouring of rain,
whoring her name as the queen of rage.
Coming from a family holy and blessed,
look how far you've came since smoking that resin.

[HOOK] x2

1, 2 steps out of that cave
3, 4, just to get a little taste
5, 6, "damn, what have I missed"
7, 8, the cherub experiments.

1, 2 steps out of that cave
3, 4, just to get a little taste
5, 6, "damn, what have I missed"
7, 8, the cherub experiments.

1, too many times on the floor,
3, 4, the war to explore,
5, 6 letters on the guest list,
7, 8, just to feel she exists.

1, too many times on the floor,
3, 4, the war to explore,
5, 6 letters on the guest list,
7, 8, just to feel she exists.

Gloria never OD'd from the codeine,
from the coke or by the means of amphetamines,
but she traded her dreams for nights of idle pleasures,
faded to the scene where the now is much better.
The feathered line between the slope and the slip,
when you're numb you don't know you've lost your grip.
Coming down off the cliff and she'll never reach the summit,
when you learn the experience but never learn from it.

[HOOK]

The clean, the nourished,
Gloria's graduation night.
Naive and ready to die,
head first to the sky.
Reckless wide eyed cherubs.
