Everyone Moves Away lyrics

Please forgive

For they know not what they've done

And if they did, they'd surely resurrect their trust

Promises were made to break

And the family kept its end

And now your answer, my friend,

Is blowing in one head and out the other

But you will find yourself

You will recognize and realize

Even when you can't forget

The times they tried you

Things denied you

Inside the big nameless house

From which everyone moves away

Everyone moves away

Growing up in severed states of mind

Can cause you to to blind 

More than twice

And now we're hurt 

By the words we've never said

The wounds you never bled

Just aggravate your head until they're gone

But you will like yourself

You will verify and vocalize

Even when you can't forget

That when you stayed you 

They betrayed you

Inside the big nameless house

From which everyone moves away

Everyone moves away

Try to wipe away the traces 

Of people, places, childhood spaces

Etched upon your memory

Like the way that we were raised

In our backyard

We were left no time to think

The blood that turned to ink spelled neglect

Now there's no sun 

And the grass is overgrown

The sacred seed they've sown 

Is utterly alone and scared to death

But you will free yourself

You will cut the cord and cauterize

And if you ever feel an urge

To look behind you, let this remind you:

We both grew up in the same house

From which everyone moves away

Everyone moves away

Everyone moves, everyone moves,

Everyone moves away
