lyrics

They strain, their vocals toil but breaking just the same to keep their secrets in soil but they stretch their arms and dig out of their graves. Masking banal with gossip and flesh is double-knotted all from Armstrong to Market it repels the reason that words can't separate. Roots cross, their torsos felled and in the park they are no longer leaning back in summer's weather. Rumors bound from their restraints but not with suspicious lips do they negate. All they do is speculate. Their prejudice lacks principle always there but just now visible. The community strays physical keeping their distance and their antique shops and inane talk wash into these storm-drains, their children become orphans, fostered by this town in their place remembering their names.
