lyrics

I used to love to drive around this town. To watch their blood come up on Friday at dusk with the windows down. But beneath the waves of the Mighty James it just washed away. I used to love but I won't try again.

I said you'd have to drag me from here. Kicking and screaming, hiding in the drywall. But when the walls all fall down, you'll see the skeleton of this town, bones bleached white. Avert your eyes from the flaws left behind. I tried. I tried. When the walls all fall down, you'll see the skeleton of this town.

Now everything I loved is just a fiction in its place from the crest of Church Hill to Hollywood Cemetery's gates. I'll take a quick walk for one last glance at the falls. I used to love, now I gotta go.

But I won't try. Can't convince anyone that I'm right. I leave dragging chains of expected refrains. Don't pity me. I set this curse on myself. Old haunts. These sirens of mine sing of easier times. And when I feel the pang of the weight in her name, I'll turn my red eyes to the sky. But I won't try again.

Bleak and hopeless... and I absolutely love it. Hard to pick a favourite track, honestly; all of them are masterpieces in their own right. brentos27
