I drove down to another place another useless lake when I was 17
And I buried my heart those years ago on a patch of land that you've never seen
There's something alive in my chest that goes by a different name
I feel that it's just the eyes of the ones that I love but they don't feel the same
I don't think I sleep enough
So why are all my dreams of this house?
A train's coming for the rest of us
We'll leave this place out of touch
I lost where my connections lie, now that it's been years since I've seen your face
Now I know that I have done my time, it's the final spike in the railway
There's something alive at the bottom of flyingshot lake
But we know that it's just a lie to keep us far away from that place
