Artist: Small Towns Burn A Little Slower Album: Mortality As Home Entertainment
Lyrics
The mist is lifted to reveal an abandon road Leading to a discarded train track town The sign still reads "rooms to let" Even though this place has been vacant for decades We've been vacant for decades This village died with the locomotive Families now forged by automobiles and airplanes Do these things make it easier to be close Or effortless to leave? These poor walls used to be called home But the occupants didn't bother to board them up Before moving on to the next big thing These tattered sidewalks tell their stories And then beg for use again Children's laughter still permeates through backyards Tree-forts, and tire-swings Family meals give way to golden arches Progress has a price And I am not sure I can flip the bill
