Fossil Fuel Lyrics by Flight Mode

TX, ’98

2021

It's cold, a wind sweeps over Dallas
And it tastes like polyester
In the fall I'll try to find a balance
Like standing straight will get me anywhere

It's a year since I set this plan in motion
In the fragile comfort of your room
Up north, and straight across the ocean
We also live on hope and fossil fuel

And I suppose I'm no longer a ghost
Just a distant friend, how we once pretended
That we could agree there's no more history
We would just depend on present tense and then

Out here the seasons are semesters
And SparkNotes count as literature
In a world that's new and brave and better
I somehow wish your face would just occur

And I suppose you're no longer a ghost
Just a distant friend, how we needed them
Back when we would agree there's no more history
Just future tense, I won't defend now and then

And I suppose this is nothing but a toast
To absent friends at their expense
We'll just wait and see if there's no more history
And just defend the present tense and then
