lyrics

Seeing static
It's erratic but in keeping with the mood
It feels so rude
It's just a cactus but the fact is I'm still constantly aware
Of that subtle stare

But I am not compelled
I'm not under that spell
In the deep end for a stroll
I guess the pecking order has its role

Inconsequential
Wasted potential when it's scripted to begin
So you'll never win
Get used to passive
It's a massive part of what's become your norm
What a rigid form

You mimic what's around
Caught up in the lost and found
Only one thing could be worse
Honeymoon phase in reverse

Prickly pear I see you everywhere
It used to be so rare
I picked one at the root
And you followed suit

Now the fruit of your labor's out of season
Going through the motions without sight
So consumed with sour we didn't savor
We're bursting at the seams to set things right

Set incentives day by day
Gotta lean into your ways
But even if I hit my stride
It would't feel the same as pride

Prickly pear it's nice to know you're there
You gave us such a scare
I picked one at the root
And you followed suit

(Lyrics by Tyler Meloan)
