This is just a really fun pop-punk track. The interesting difference being how even though there are quite a few layers of guitar, nothing much sounds like a guitar which was something I really wanted to experiment with on this EP. I also really love the way this song shifts so many time in its short run time.
--Ben
I find this song to be cheerfully subversive. It lures you by being catchy at first, but then hits with you with a dose of truth.

lyrics
I heard the garden being overpowered by the AC
I wondered to myself which comforts me more
Your zen, your buddha is just a pimp
A drug cartel king pin
And you are its beggar
But men have died for lesser lies
I love how when you say something degrading
It makes you feel like you’re right
I’ve been doing a lot of questioning
And I Don’t like what I’ve been finding
I will not support your self indulgence
(when your reliance)
Is all on me and my friends
(Its time for you to rethink your life again)
I took off my headphones and opened up my eyes to see you
But can the world look any more dead to me?
Took a look around and remembered
Why I had stopped looking
Feed your indulgences
On this time of mine you’re wasting
I got sea sick when the ship started sinking
I’ll spell it out so simply
I’ve been doing a lot of questioning
And I Don’t like what I’ve been finding
I will not support your self indulgence
(when your reliance)
Is all on me and my friends
(Its time to rethink your life again)
