Pinewood Parkways

We all see ghosts
upon these empty roads
the violet glow in the dark
On air their toes
floating above these stones
the silent bloom in the yard
No words, no force
smoke in front of stores
violent hope in the park
Our whole lives we’ve been completely offbeat
All dreams will die in this goddamn town
so you say
you got it wrong way around
and you
only your bones will follow you
rest will stay on Pinewood Parkways
Few weeks ago
was it around your home
they found something in the backwoods
And power lines
can’t hide the teenage spies
the void when we hear someone shoot
Our whole lives we’ve been completely offbeat
All dreams will die in this goddamn town
so you say
you got it wrong way around
and you
only your bones will follow you
rest will stay on Pinewood Parkways
