lyrics

VERSE 1
casting my mind to the place that we shared
the way that she held our world within her rotten walls
a fortress on the hill, a testament to love in the suburbs
it was mikey's room, it was my room it was everything i wanted to live up to

the mythic curve of the arch in the kitchen
framed all the moments we performed, to retrieve some lost wisdom
there's something inscrutable about it
rotate the cast again, swap a 20-something for a 20-something and reveal another chapter

CHORUS
the world turns
and scars are earned
and i have learned
i still miss her
red brick, green garden; take a picture

VERSE 2
grasping blind in a bout of loneliness
only the brightest pinpricks filter through the miasma
drifting in and out, jigsaw pieces flowing freely to the ground
hosed down and steaming on the hot concrete

surveying my time as an indie darling's bag man
i see the tragedy ripping through the curtains interrupting every vision of a person that i once occupied
and the poison that i brewed there
seeps through our veins, spreading like cracks buried in our foundation

CHORUS
the world turns
and scars are earned
and i have learned
i still miss her
red brick, green garden; take a picture
