turnspit - worthless lyrics

Loading...

this is a song about the place where i first grew up
just over the bridge on harlem
everyday i’d wait as he walked home from the train
to play outside before dinner

i’d wake up and head down to the raspberry bush
enamored by the thought i could grow something
i’d climb the tree with the stump that’d been split in half
and the creepy crawlies living inside

life was so simple
i was so innocent
it’s time to move on

7127 that’s the place where my grandfather died
my sister broke her arm, my dad got blackout drunk
it’s the place where i started my life and learned to survive

i’d make my way down the alley weaving between the weeds
like a maze to get that gas station candy
then they tore it down and built it back up
and i can only walk there in a straight line

my gran, she lived alone for a while
trapped by the spoils of her body and mind
and she’s announced she’s on her way out
with pills at the ready by her bedside

now life’s not so simple
and i’m far from innocent
it’s time to move on

7127 that’s the place where my grandfather died
my uncle crashed the car, my mom took me for walks
around the fountain almost every night

i moved back my freshman year
and almost everything had changed
i was the one walking home from the train
and no one was there to play

7127 that’s the place where my grandfather died
and now, i know, it’s time to say goodbye
to that piece of my life
and i’m not ready
