Feral Downeast Tablet Kids

Downeast Royalty

Dragging chargers through the sand, sticky juice box in each hand. A tribute to every Maine parent who has lost their child to the glow of a screen at a craft fair.

[Verse 2] Mama’s got that thousand-yard Coffee stare at 10 a.m Hair in something like a bun Sweatpants praying for a friend Baby daddy at the counter “Yeah, I’m picking them up… real soon” He’s been “rotating the tires” Since the last blue cartoon raccoon

[Bridge] One screams “buffering!” in church One tries to pinch-zoom on a rock One calls grandma “skip this ad” ‘Cause she dared to try and talk You say “back in my day, Buddy” They just roll their giant eyes “Was your childhood in black and white? Did you have to charge the skies?” (woah)
