we follow the tracks in the snow past drained out forties and discarded clothes/tried to step in you prints but my boots didn't fit/sometimes I still pretend that I know how to swim/and from a rusted steel cage under twisting concrete/montreal depaneurs and water soaking my feet/on a busted freight train never made it back home/no fucking train ever got me home/all the actions that we take/all the best attempts at making change/they were never poor excuses for a drive at good intentions/it was everything we could try to make/it was everything we could do to change/so i'll tear down your community/i'll tear down all your friends/if you really think that will make us better in the end/side sixty miles outside of town/climb on a fifty three/head back north bound/watch the light glow slowly start to fade/it's a lack of unity pushing everyone away.

well i listened to your album on repeat last night/just like yesterday after that silly fight/and it's weird how connected i feel to you sometimes/even though i barely know you well i wish that i did/and i want to write you a letter say promise me some day/we'll meet each other outside of myspace/and in person we'll laugh and be silly or cry or drink if that's what you think/and in some empty eerie sleepy campground/in southern mississippi/the air is so think of humidity/and even though it's midnight it's still so hot/and i can't remember the last cold day/it's been over a month since i've worn my hoodie/and that was in pei - man, how time flies/well everything's shaky and hard at best/but maybe tomorrow we can look our best/and drive to new orleans or maybe las vegas/pretend that we're flying there in an outer space ship/well why did you change, or why did i/because nothing is better, same shit different pile/well i'm sorry i fucked up/but i'll try with my best of luck.
3.
i saw the dust clouds in your eyes/while we stood on pillars ten feet high/and i watched the flesh fall off your knife/while you fly the storm just like a kite/but these days you just ebb and sway/like our old city filled with cranes/and i held you up above the sky/so you could tell me what it was like/and i held you up above the sky/but you still tell me it's just night/and now you walk around so desperately/a shallow reflection of what you used to be/you're becoming these streets/twenty odd years of facing defeat/well when i'm older i swear/i will never grow grey hair/and when i'm older i swear/nothing will be unfair/and when i'm older i swear/my wings will take me everywhere/and when i'm older i swear/i will take you with me/because that's what friends do/unconditionally.
