i will not mourn who i was that has gone away

(I will not mourn who I was, that has gone away)
Alright

I swear these crows keep getting bigger
Hanging off the fence post together
Nothing's moving, there's no winter
Drawn to thrill, drawn to surrender
But somewhere deep inside my memory
There's a kid with a neck so slender
Capsized and 10 years later
His arms are tattooed
He's like a sailor

But I will
Will not
I will not mourn who, who I was, that has gone away

Now, he's assumed relaxation's posture
So every day he's underwater
Isolation, cave mouth darkness
He's trying to say something
It makes no sense
But somewhere deep inside his memory
There's a kid who would just go walking
24th Street, thrift shopping
He looks so happy trying on a costume

But I will
Will not
I will not mourn who, who I was, that has gone away

How do you perceive the morning sun
After endless days of dull repetition?
Are you reaching out, or are you reaching through?
Are you a ghost in an empty room?
In an empty room, alright

I will not mourn who
Who I was, that has gone away
Who I was, that has gone away
Who I was

But somewhere deep inside my memory
There's a kid with a neck so slender
Capsized and 10 years later
His arms are tattooed
He looks like a sailor

I will not mourn who
Who I was, that has gone away
