lyrics
Memory is torn apart
Up the road in Cushing Park
Field grass all prairie dense
Twisted helix chain-link fence
Orange on the playground bars
Cracking in the pavement tar
Remember it in 96’?
That place looks a lot like this
There I go again with my head cocked looking backwards
Another day yet to regret when I get older
Another year and I’ll be feeling even less wise
Every moment past: golden and aggrandized
Memory is bruised and hurt
Outside Cushing Baptist Church
Crucifix’s cracking stain
Broken basement windowpane
Matted orange carpet floor
Creaking hinges, every door
Remember in in 98’?
Before we all could see its fate
There I go again with my head cocked looking backwards
Another day yet to regret when I get older
Another year and I’ll be feeling even less wise
Once again, mourning every day ahead of time
Could I not see this place?
Have my eyes just opened up?
Could I not hear its voice?
Have my ears just opened up?
Could I not speak its name?
Has my mouth just opened up?
Could I not feel its pulse?
Has my heart just opened up?
It’s tearing me up
Up the road in Cushing Park
Field grass all prairie dense
Twisted helix chain-link fence
Orange on the playground bars
Cracking in the pavement tar
Remember it in 96’?
That place looks a lot like this
There I go again with my head cocked looking backwards
Another day yet to regret when I get older
Another year and I’ll be feeling even less wise
Every moment past: golden and aggrandized
Memory is bruised and hurt
Outside Cushing Baptist Church
Crucifix’s cracking stain
Broken basement windowpane
Matted orange carpet floor
Creaking hinges, every door
Remember in in 98’?
Before we all could see its fate
There I go again with my head cocked looking backwards
Another day yet to regret when I get older
Another year and I’ll be feeling even less wise
Once again, mourning every day ahead of time
Could I not see this place?
Have my eyes just opened up?
Could I not hear its voice?
Have my ears just opened up?
Could I not speak its name?
Has my mouth just opened up?
Could I not feel its pulse?
Has my heart just opened up?
It’s tearing me up
