lyrics

It was a day unlike any other.
The warm front had just rolled in and the wind appeared to hover,
and the sun pierced the cloudless sky
as I watched my ghosts wander by
out the window of my Yaris.

I rolled down past the origin point
from where all life pours out.
We used to come around and rock this joint.
We used to holler and shout.

We don't do that anymore.

The clouds rolled in above us as I turned right onto Mockingbird.
I saw the trees shiver and shake.
It was only then, I finally got word.
It was nearly too much to take.

I drifted past the proving grounds
wherein we gained our shapes.
There is nothing in or around them now
save for echoes of fate.

We don't do anything anymore.
