We Burn Houses - Socratic

I saw myself in an alley

This was me ten years from now

He said, «Hey kid don’t you remember that i never get older?

Hey kid don’t you remember that I’ll never get older?»

We burn houses bigger than this

With a three car garage with no cars in it

Everybody’s coming but nobody’s leaving

From outside I can see right into a table for four with the third chair missing

It’s upside down from reflections on silverware

They all want to be helpful

I am not one of those people

I just sit and wait for grass so green that there is no other side

Birds that sing with English accents a melody out of time

We’re just slipping away
