Hausman Street

A fist fight at a funeral spilling ashes
Split just like the will forever changing photo albums
Bound by a soul gone to heaven
Always preaching love- why can't they practice their own lessons

At the Hausman Street Block Party is where angels last have seen
A trace of anything that was remotely close to the values she'd hold
If only you knew then that soon that a casket would close

I tell you now, I'll never understand

Tragic how these antics come in the worst circumstances
By the biggest fans of a faith that's built on second chances
Throwing words and pointing words make you worse than all the sinners
You damn underneath your breath like the pride that you guard
We're supposed to be together why are you tearing us apart

At the Hausman Street Block Party is where angels last have seen
A trace of anything that was remotely close to the values she'd hold
If only you knew then that soon that a casket would close

I tell you now, I'll never understand
How you hold a grudge tighter than you ever did her hand

It's hard to see how you line the pews
To paint in sunny skies around the darkest portraits of you
Would she be proud?

At the Hausman Street Block Party is where angels last have seen
A trace of anything that was remotely close to the values she'd hold
If only you knew then that soon that a casket would close

At the Hausman Street Block Party is where I see ghost of what I miss the most
(Our flags they wave, casting shade on what I miss the most)
A voice inside my mind that's faded with time
(I hope silhouettes don't make a mess)
I hope to hear again when my casket does close

I tell you now, I'll never understand
