1937 State Park

(I never thought it would happen to me but-)
(I never thought it would happen to me but-)

No one should ever have to look at themselves
I stay clear of graveyards, they are cliché in my death-obsessed generation
No one should ever have to look at themselves

High school teen dream dies in a hospital
Leaves behind a journal and a pair of Air Jordans
Lyrics of popular rock ballads
Changed to include his name

I'm taking back my heart
You were digging a hole for it (at the State Park) six-feet deep
At the State Park

I didn't want you to hear that shake in my voice
My pain is my own
And when the cops shook me down
I cried walking home, I cried walking home

You and me are connected now
We were in one photograph, and we don't even look happy
I can't commit to a crime to commit
I need to get one done for the biography, because-

When I split the scene, leave the party early
What am I leaving behind me?
Just a memory, another body
It ain't no pair of Air Jordans

Something is ringing
Death is playing his xylophone ribs for me

I didn't want you to hear that shake in my voice
My pain is my own
And when the cops shook me down
I cried walking home, I cried walking home

I didn't want you to hear that shake in my voice
My pain is my own
And when the cops shook me down
I cried walking home, I cried walking home, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Don't worry
I'm worrying for two
So don't worry, baby
Don't worry
I'm worrying for two
So don't worry, baby
