about

recorded in a basement in pawtucket RI in 2010

lyrics

I'm stepping over weathered roads
their wounds are deep and lay exposed
visible is the sand and the rocks that make the land
the earth below

the sun is scared to show its face
so he hides behind the clouds and wastes his day
so it feels colder
and the sky is a brighter grey

I saw clear and crisp as i strolled past
the churches steeple and its stained glass
I saw some lights inside
I just don't know why I cry when they laugh

Its quiet still and empty now
It always feels like something in this town
I still don't know what it is but one day I might find out

I came upon an empty lot
stepped inside and fell apart
I always knew I was frail
but I never thought that I would break my own heart

now Im two hours out plus two hours back
I've seen the beauty but I cannot forget the past
my voice, it moves between the trees
with the sounds of birds it plays hide
and seek

hide and seek

it seems quieter when Im alone
and staring at the ground below
so I take the side streets
where there is no breeze and I can walk real slow

the factories are all getting old
they're abandoned now
but a building has no soul
so I cant feel bad
when I stop and see them all decomposed

then again its the same with me
we are kind of all just like factories
we work so hard in life
then the day we die,
we are rendered useless for an eternity
