Choke Parade

[Verse I]
Barely noticed puberty as hair grew subtly onto my virgin flesh
Permanently burning away at my baby fat chest
"Ceschi the stretch marks from when you were 16 are still there to tell you that you're going nowhere"
Fast at least
No masterpiece will last a week
While giants and dragons jump onto the canvas sheet
How you gonna prove you're not another sucker with a dream
Living under your Grandpa's roof in a room with your brother
All of us want to be someone better
Until the moment when the ominous comes
And jumps stomps on our festival
It's a fucking rainy day
Plain and gray
In Connecticut waiting for a saving grace
To take us away
And it's just

[Hook]
One quick moment for the parade to arrive
In just one moment all the floats will choke the sky
One quick moment for the parade to arrive
In just one moment all the floats will choke the sky

[Verse II]
Helium filled monstrosities wave in the wind above a cheering crowd
That's tearing down our city
Simply with the blaring sound
Of "Oohs" and "Ahhs"
And huge applause
As people scurry to catch a glimpse of balloons in fog
Everybody in LA was looking for a lucky break
But all I really wanted was to get out of that fucking place
I never wanted to be that big blimp in a parade
That just sits in deep haze
Waiting for the day that it deflates

[Hook]
One quick moment for the parade to arrive
In just one moment all the floats will choke the sky
One quick moment for the parade to arrive
In just one moment all the floats will choke the sky

[Verse III]
Then we'll chuckle in sync
Like after Snarf jokes on Thundercats episodes
We'll reminisce about bullshit we walked through on this wretched road
It was a mess, I know
Tough to pass the test of growth
But we never let those foes
Question our endless sense of hope
This is a song for all my friends trying to live off music
A song for my people who are told every day that they'll never do it
Even though we'll all wind up in space under graves
At least we kept our legs strong moving along the whole way

[Hook]
Quick one moment for the parade to arrive
In just one moment all the floats will choke the sky
Quick one moment for the parade to arrive
In just one moment all the floats will choke the sky

[Outro]
Choke the sky
Choke the sky
All the floats will choke the sky
Choke the sky
Choke the sky
All the floats will choke the sky
Choke the sky
Choke the sky
All the floats will choke the sky
Choke the sky
Choke the sky
All the floats will choke the sky
