Door clicks shut, key turns slow Her footsteps fade down the hall below I count the cracks up on my wall Then see the window's not locked at all Curtain breathes, night slips in Heart says: Run, so I listen Bare feet hit the roof, then ground I don't look back, I don't make a sound Whole house sleeps, I stay awake Guess runnin' hurts less than stayin' If I'm grounded in that room Then outside feels like somethin' new I walk these streets like I'm the last Streetlights blink like they're tired too No cars, no voices, just my shitty past Echoes follow what I never knew If the world forgot how to play Maybe it grew up the wrong way I keep walkin' ‘til I see A playground lookin' just like me Gate hangs crooked, paint peeled off Same blue swing I used to love Chain don't move when I push it back Like it forgot how to come back Slide's all rust, burns my skin Guess it aged the way I did Seesaw split, stuck in place One side low, guess that's my face I sit where laughter used to live Try to feel what it used to give But time don't care who gets left It takes the best and keeps the rest I try to swing but I don't go Just hangin' here, not high, not low Try to slide, it cuts me deep Guess even fun don't wanna keep me Everything I fuckin' loved decayed Same way I slowly faded away I finally see what time can do (This playground broke the same as you) I talk to bars, I talk to air Like maybe somethin's listenin' there I say: Remember when we were okay? The wind don't answer, it just plays I kick the dirt, it kicks back Guess even ground don't got my back They say kids heal, kids bounce through But no one taught me how to fuckin' do that too I try to swing but I don't go Just hangin' here, not high, not low Try to slide, it cuts me deep Guess even fun don't wanna keep me (Don't wanna keep me) Everything I fuckin' loved decayed Same way I slowly faded away I finally see what time can do (This playground broke the same as you) This playground like me, rusted and tired Once full of dreams, now half on fire No one comes, no one stays They grow up, they walk away (They walk away) I didn't break overnight I wore down slow, piece by piece If this place still breathes somehow Then maybe I'm still breathin' now (I'm still breathin' now) Sun peeks up, sky turns gray Park looks smaller in the day I wipe my hands, head back home Another place I don't belong But if anyone asks where I've been I won't say a word, I'll just grin Some things rot, some things flee (That playground did the same as me)
