Lyrics
There's a lack of color
Expressing a sense of dullness or lack of vibrancy in life.
Benny says that I'll be fine

Can I see you in a sweater?

Guess I'll scream down the highway

And sweat through the hard parts of July
Enduring the difficult moments of July, a metaphor for challenging times.
Guess I'll scare my parents
Considering actions that may worry or disturb parents in the search for meaning or purpose.
In searching ways for me to die
Exploring potentially harmful ways of coping with internal struggles.
Heard your voice

A scarecrow to my own life

Now I see you in strangers
