You said we were a miracle 

Yet here I am so cynical 

Tearing flesh & breaking bones

You said my heart was your home

When all the stars fell from the sky

You never asked the reason why

And here I stand: a mausoleum 

While you're nowhere to be seen

 

Chimneys burned when we were young

The dust of coal was in our lungs

You said we would escape from here 

Hand in hand, we had no fear

But, time erodes a youthful soul 

Forgets the things that make us whole

And this old town: it draws you in

Gets under flesh, & under skin…

 

Amelia, one day, you will return

For, this old town shall be your urn

And in the twilight's pallid hue 

You'll find the ghosts of me & you

You cannot run from where you're born

It sits within your heart forlorn 

And sings a melancholic song 

Now that you're gone, 

Now that you're gone
