Factory Road 04:26
Wedding day, 1949 You wouldn't be that happy for a long time What did you create? Four reasons to keep his name They're getting high downstairs as the tennis and wine swallow all your cares Wedding day, 2013 You're silent at the open bar You don't remember me Second weddings as tradition Wedding day, 1988 Sobered up but it was too late The red van speeds away like when you joined the Navy When you left that place down on Factory Road, seventeen years old

You look just like your father now," she said to the boy. "I can't look away." He hadn't heard from her in years, since back in the old Nevada days. The years went but I can't stop myself from listening to everything they said. There was a lack of foundation. Sue would have blamed one of them. The boy's mother dragged him away, a scowl on her face. "Stay away from him!" Stretched thin by two families, links in decay. She lies, they are scum, don't trust him.

I say this is a waste of time - anxiety's no friend of mine. Cut myself from the air. Can't tell myself not to care, so I space out in my mind and try to control life, but what I'm doing just has me dying. Years pass by boxed inside. Take the time to find acceptance. Know I'm wrong, but say it's right. I know I'm wrong. I know it's all wrong - imperfect sight placed in perfect light. Show me that I am worth it, because I've seen it and I'm not stopping. Scared to fail, but I fail myself. Scared of death, but destroy myself. A million reasons to see it - my shame our love - I can't quit.

Flip a switch to turn off the fear Takes you the lift of a finger Takes me a year Where did you learn to walk on fire and run along the coals? When did you start to like the burn? Took a train to the end of the line Hoped it'd go off the end of the earth It's not as far as Lancaster You're like a book stuck on the first chapter

Lawrence 03:28
You chose the sun by the shore over the son you bore A line of deli clerks and waitresses Mom stayed in town so that's what you did Carved your name into the station so they'd know it Third Street's a little more quiet and Lawrence always felt like home Fifth Street will never feel like it when you sleep alone Take a little time Rub your hand along the bark Take a little time before it all goes dark You stole the kids over the bridge to New Jersey You chose the sun, take a little time You told the son his father would never leave him You told the son you might've been wrong
