This park used to be a reservoir before Charlie drowned
Saving a doctor and his girl
They drained the water and moved the earth
Now housewives have a place to walk
Some memorial to be alive
Saving a doctor and his girl
They drained the water and moved the earth
Now housewives have a place to walk
Some memorial to be alive
These stones were men I knew
Before they fell in love with a girl who is deception
She kissed the skin, they named the holes
Then she laid them in the same ground
Some memorial to be alive
No wonder our eyes were shut through it all
Don't we have enough corner coffee shops, concrete and scripted lies?
Crowded when they come, cures lifeless gray wanting to turn away
We'll never be the same
Don't you have enough pills and cigarettes this time to dull the pain?
Angry when it comes, lonely when it's gone, wanting to feel the same
We'll never be the same
Reflection is never what it was
With the years and what the body's gravity does
We build it up, then grind her down
Replace the earth we all return to her
Some memorial, to be alive
Leave nothing
Even though I shake the hand
I shake the hand of denial
I run to follow all my friends
I see them stare in denial
It's a long time to go, it's a long time
Medicate the eyes so they see just what they need to
Keep them blind to pacify the mind so it won't bleed through
Fill the ears with numbing waste to cancel out the hum
Addled brain cannot complain about anything it's done
Leave nothing
Drop the kids to chase a ghost to get right for today
Drop the dead in garbage bags to better our tomorrow
Leave the earth a leeching hole whose water stands polluted
The answer to our everything is a medicated dozer
Take a hand full of seeds and a mouthful of dirt
Lie down, become a garden
Leave nothing as it was
Idled brain cannot complain about anything it's done
Leave nothing
Drop the kids to chase a ghost to get right for today
Drop the dead in garbage bags to better our tomorrow
Leave the earth a leaching hole whose water stands polluted
The answer to our everything is a medicated dozer
Take a hand full of seeds, and a mouthful of dirt
Lie down and become a garden
Leave nothing as it was
