Plank III

[Verse 1]
That was the last place that I saw her
At the Belmont Snack Shop
Since consumed by fire
Now it’s an empty lot
Vacant, overgrown
In its own way sacred
I’d rather see it empty
Than watch somebody take it

[Chorus]
Our future showed such promise
Golden Age everlasting
Everyone liked her, everyone liked us
But the skies were overcasting
Everything we built
So readily cast aside
Like this burned out nothing
Collecting snow outsidе

[Refrain]
I feel a push from the darkness
And so what do I do?
Push back

[Bridge]
New dеvelopments encircle me
Placeless, inviting
Sleek angles, glossy facades
Cheap design and soft lighting
3D rendered transformation
They didn’t leave off any traces
Of the lives that were lived here
Closed off, open spaces

[Verse 2]
They’ve never been burned
They’ve never been attacked
When they walked through that door
They never looked back
All this force with no direction
Wanna believe that it isn’t true
That this was never the place
That I thought I knew

[Refrain]
I feel a push from the darkness
And so I push back

[Chorus]
Our future showed such promise
Golden Age everlasting
Everyone liked her, everyone liked us
But the skies were overcasting
Everything we built
So readily cast aside
Like this burned out nothing
Collecting snow outside
