frankford cul de sac

I used to be so cool before you
Remember when I'd steal the keys to dad's coupe
We'd turn this town into our sonic get away
Drive until we hit the EZ pass lanes

Uninspired and daft
this rotting smell won't last
Tell me now, if I may ask
Is this the shell of my former past

Sure, I remember when you taught me to skate
But do you remember how that lasted for a day
Cause then I skinned my knee and mom complained
I almost missed you the week you ran away

Uninspired and daft
25 on minimum wage
And since you had to ask,
it's not a shell, man, it's a cage

You used to make me laugh
At the Frankford Cul-de-sac
When I'd break my ass
You'd pick me up, the pain would pass

Now you never laugh like we used to laugh
I want you to want something so bad, man anything real bad
Maybe you were way too young to be a fucking dad

All the signs she tried to say
Your broken mother spoke to me
Indifference cuts like razor blades
I lost a brother

I lost a brother yesterday
