lyrics

Maps in my head
Too many Xs to count
Pick one just pick one
Oh what could go wrong
Red tinted face sun-washed with a frown
Eyes are stained red from the sweat on this brow

And I’ve got my compass ready
Tired of waiting on the stars

Everybody wants to talk about themselves
And their world
Tinted with roses
And I’m not sure that im a self
As I search for gold on the coast of

California

Write off these days
At least the ones they’ll allow
Check the right boxes and don’t make a sound
Left myself crumbs to find my way out
But when i searched for me last year not sure what i found

And I’ve got my compass ready
Tired of waiting on the stars

Everybody wants to talk about themselves
And their world
Tinted with roses
And I’m not sure that im a self
As I search for gold on the coast of

California

I wanna own my words
Not sell my soul
Want to keep my mind
Not gain control
And if i wanted a script
I’d move to Los Angeles
Tired of making lists
Just to check the boxes

Everybody wants to talk about themselves
And their world
Tinted with roses
And I’m not sure that im a self
As I search for gold on the coast of

California
