And we will always love you. less

Track Name: River Town
Calling out all the spectres still around
The old prefabricated hallowed ground
Snow cone kids + death girls saunter round
The incidental galaxies abound

(Back in River Town) Kissed in cars as the stars collided
(Down in River Town) Sharing sighs with the subdivided
Every other lawn a chapter, every street was a show
With so much story left to go

That ivy-ridden school looks so small
That dungeon that I dreaded every fall
I was overwrought, I was slinking down the hall
Am I still like that at all? I can't make that call

(Back in River Town) Young blood coursing under autumn sweaters
(Down in River Town) Just one touch and we'll ride forever
Reeling to the the two-chord epics, lost in the sweetest glow
Stories spun out years ago

All the pale and raving angels
In their crinoline and burgundy
Are nowhere to be seen
And the crumbling bridge where the smokers
Used to make out and caterwaul
Is as empty as a dying mall
And the songs are just raw data
Crackling through the digital air
Like a soundtrack to nowhere
And the ghosts you keep embracing
And the steps you've been retracing
What is it you're chasing?

So after all these stalls in time
The frozen wonder, the uncommited crimes
How did it all unravel so?
Where's this story supposed to go?
Track Name: Faking The Wisdom
Hands bone cold, the greying wolf bargains with the stars. The cursed woods, the tapering world. Until the city surrenders a sign like the blush and the rush of the wine. Return to the chase of the light. Catch a speck of forever tonight. She dances sweats of lunacy, singed with carpet burns. The wilting eyes, so-called porcelain prize. And she surrenders to the city's signs with the blush and the rush of the wine. Sky scattered with long-dead light as the grey wolves all circle in tight. Yeah, we're faking the wisdom tonight.
