lyrics

All my friends are flakes
I’m sitting in a bowl of sugared milk,
waiting for the rest of the party to get here
before we lose our reservation, I go

fresh from the box into the weekend
I’ve got plans for the fifth of next year
Why do I hang with people who can’t
even be bothered to text me?

All my friends are flakes
I’m under the backyard tent alone
having the last of all the snacks I brought for
six to seven people

And the rain slaps down onto the plastic
I’ve only had this tent for as long as
I’ve known you and all of the others,
local folk with better things to do

All my friends are flakes
Ever since my good friends moved
I’ve been going out less every weekend
staying in and watching cable news
I’ve been losing vitamin D on the couch of a dark room
watching other people lose health care
I’ve been sleeping past 3pm
and Losing track of the days since I’ve seen my real

Friends not flakes, over the ocean,
over mountains, way up the highway,
Flakes are meeting outside the rite-aid,
I’ll get there as soon as they all leave
