Everyone Moves Away - The Posies

Please forgive, for they know not what they’ve done

And if they did, they’de surely resurrect their trust

Promises were made to break and the family kept its end

And now your answer, my friend,

Is blowing in one head and out the other

But you will find yourself

You will recognize and realize

Even when you can’t forget

The times they tried you, things denied you, inside the big nameless house

From which everyone moves away, everyone moves away

Growing up in severed states of mind

Can cause you to to blind more than twice

And now we’re hurt by the words we’ve never said

The wounds you never bled

Just aggravate your head until they’ve gone

But you will like yourself

You will verify and vocalize

Even when you can’t forget

That when you stayed you, they betrayed you, inside the big nameless house

From which everyone moves away, everyone moves away

Try to wipe away the traces of people, places, childhood spaces

Etched upon your memory, like the way that we were raised

In our backyard we were left no time to think

The blood that turned to ink splelled neglect

Now there’s no sun and the grass is overgrown

The sacred seed they’ve sown is utterly alone and scared to death

But you will free yourself
