Taking Gshots out of a spray paint can, shot fClares into the dark
CTree bark on the glass, our Homewood Ampermanent cocoon
GAnd you're trying to remember the last Cyear you saw the moon
CWas it 1998? DWas it 2002?
GWere there aliens among us? CWere they treating us like food?
CWas it 2003? DWas it 2024?
GWas it back when I realized there'd be no Cmore Year of the Lord?

CI'm a million years away, Dyou're another million more
GSo we count the days until they just don't Cneed us anymore
