When your cousins all moved out to California
And the ones who weren't out east yet stayed behind
You'd already sworn allegiance to a flag without a home
And you told yourself you'd move away in time
But then time had other plans to keep you busy
Caught you between never was and always been
And it always likes to move when you're not looking at the clock
And it doesn't let most anybody in
It's not new, It's gone unstated
You'd just never really seen it churn before
You can smell it oxidated
On the handles of your doors
Oooh
All the townships where our moms were born are rotting
And the suburbs where they raised us soon to go
When we sing out to the living, I don't know what it all means
Beneath the bleached ribs of the city in the snow
So we're driving through this duplex hell and looking at the yards
Full of crosses meant to resurrect the mall
And we go to cemeteries to remember who we’ve buried
Though they must not be listening after all
You moved on, you ate your heart out
You were long gone by the time her daughter died
And you called her from Chicago
And you listened while she cried
How are your grand visions going?
How are all the songs you wrote to wake the dead?
Is the rust still building upwards
In the corners of your head?
Oh it's not new, it's gone unstated
You'd just never really seen it churn before
You can smell it oxidated on the handles of your doors
Oooh
