Distant silhouette

She grew up near the tracks
Where neither side is right
Bored just flipping that switch
And holding that little light
With every train that passes there's a whistle
And with every whistle, a song
A song that she writes in her head
Every night until the dawn
She writes and she writes
Letters to her previous self
Like a ghost when she talks
She hides on the shelf
There's nothing left for her here
It's the same shithole every year
They only ask she not forget
Even as a distant silhouette

What we could have done
01:53

When you went to the West
It took that load off your chest
And when you looked to the East
You saw that scary beast
That we always knew would come
And leave nothing behind
Oh, what could we have done
Oh, what could we have done?
There will come a time
When you step way out of line
And what will you do
When there's no one left to help you out
Again, and again, and again
Oh, what could we have done
Oh, what could we have done?
I saw you reaching out
But I acted unattached
It's a little late now
But if I could take it back
You know I would
Or at least I hope you do
Oh, what we could have done
Oh, what we could have done

You know it's me

I could not demand
To seek shelter in your hand
And I died before
I even got through the door
You taught me to walk
I began to run
And I didn't stop
Until I touched the sun
Nothing gold can stay
That's what you told me
Silver leaves beside
The thoughts that fall away
You remember my name
Like there's nothing in your brain
But the image of the stone
Upon which it is engraved
Nothing gold can stay
That's what you told me
Silver leaves beside
The thoughts that fall away
Quickly collect your thoughts
And throw them all away
Whether you like it or not
I know what you had to say
Everyone knows it's me
Everyone knows it's me
Everyone knows it's me
Everyone
