Orange by Pinegrove

i try to wrap my
head around
an eye for an eye
full of iodine
i try to remember
the history of time

i try to laugh
or sleep it off
that awful feeling
something's off
by eye i measure
the narrow length across

today the sky is orange
& you & i know why

i try to warn
my senator
he said that he
invented it
& that i should feel happy
he talked to me at all

i try to down
the bluest pill
the author of
the fucking bill
bragging on youtube
the criminals he'll kill

they’re trying ignore it
we always knew they’d try
today the sky is orange
& you & i know why
