Suburban Decay Admiration

about

One more song :)

lyrics

I’ve tried and tried to wrap my mind around it this time
But there’s no answers to find
It’s up to you to decide

Here is where we are
These are the streets that we call home
And there we will go
Across what you have known

Let me be your everything
And I will bring you nothing
We’ll be standing together on these sidewalks
For roads that are not safe to cross

There are nails on every driveway
And spikes on every tree
A wall between the highway
Will make sure you never leave
White picket fence decorations
And careful coordination
Help us imagine all jubilation for
My suburban decay admiration

Don’t die (don’t die)
The rain will heal our wounds (The rain will heal our wounds)
You’re not as alone (You’re not as alone)
as it seems (as it seems)

Let’s go somewhere we’ve never been
Shopping malls on mountain tops with your only friends
Escalator down to the valley
Where everyone that you love will leave you

There’s no danger to inquire
Only cell phones (self harm) to inspire
Isolation from all that could bring you down
Only substances take you higher

Don’t let the overgrown
Vines and bushes smother you
Over time the paths you grew up with
Could become unrecognisable
From how it was before
Do you remember anymore
How it was before the overpass was built
(Oh well as you can see)

There are nails on every driveway
And spikes on every tree
A wall between the highway
Will make sure you never leave
White picket fence decorations
And careful coordination
Help us imagine all jubilation for
My suburban decay admiration

Don’t die (don’t let the overgrown)
The rain will heal our wounds (Vines and bushes smother you)
You’re not as alone as it seems (Over time the paths you grew up walking
Could become unrecognisable)
Forgive me in the morning, then we will find our way down (To how they were before, do you remember anymore)
You’re not as alone as it seems (How it was before the overpass was built)
