permanent scar Video (MV)

I figure I'll end up in California
Biting lemon rinds and finding rhymes for lemonade
I told my mom "I wanna write songs until I die"
And she just said "alright"
There's a small star burning out inside my mouth
My teeth taste all acidic on the backside
I hope that I blind everyone when I smile, I hope I'm exceptional
But fusion only goes for so long
I'm going out, without
I'm going out without ceremony
I'm going out, without
I'm going out without ceremony
I'm heading towards the distant power lines
I'm following someone back to civilization
But there's no one else, I'm following myself out to the west coast
And by the time that I get there, everyone will be gone
Please put all of Wikipedia on a satellite
And my guitar, detuned for the flight
And send it out from the ruins of Los Angeles
Who are you to tell me to count to ten?
I don't need a deep breath, I just need a cigarette
I hate how you have to work to keep calluses around
I want a permanent scar
I'm just sad about it, I'm sorry
I don't know anything anymore
I just want a permanent scar
A permanent scar
I'm going out, without, without
