Ditches Songtext
von Cayucas

I told myself that I won′t end up down in the ditches
See, I lit the match and I watched the
Fire burn through the town we grew up in
Oh, suburbia, you left us peering up over fences
Off of diving boards, jack-knifed into the deep end, whoa
With the empty lots filled with parking spots
Yeah, we were bored
And the memories not yet forgotten sink but don't wash away
No, they won′t flicker out, they're lurking in the dark
At the end of the day, oh no


No, I don't wanna end up like this
Down in the sewers
A sadness you′re not used to
Oh, and it all explodes
Bomb, bombs up in the air
The silhouette through her bedroom window is gone
It′s no longer there, but you were never lost

No second thoughts, no hesitation
The months, the years of isolation
Get your photo finished with your arms held high
The memory-filled passer-by
This town is quiet, it looks like a background
The trophies on the shelf are no longer around
The instant cigarette, it's at the edge of your mouth
The flame still burns and it won′t go out, no

No, I don't wanna end up like this
Down in the sewers
A dullness you′ve grown used to
Oh, and it all explodes
Bomb, bombs up in the air
The silhouette through her bedroom window is gone
It's no longer there, but you were never lost
