Memory Lane

Lyrics

This is the place you end up
 When you lose the chase
 Where you're dragged against your will
 From a basement on the hill
 And all anybody knows
 Is you're not like them
 And they kick you in the head
 And send you back to bed
 Isolation pulled you passed a tunnel to a bright
 World where you can make a place to stay
 But everybody's scared of this place
 They're staying away
 Your little house on Memory Lane
 The mayor's name is fear
 His force patrols the pier
 From a mountain of cliche
 That advances everyday
 The doctor spoke a cloud
 He rained out loud
 You'll keep your doors and windows shut
 And swear you'll never show a soul again
 But isolation pushes you 'til every muscle aches
 Down the only road it ever takes
 But everybody's scared of this place
 They're staying away
 Your little house on Memory Lane
 If it's your decision
 To be open about yourself
 Be careful or else
 Be careful or else
 I'm comfortable apart
 It's all written on my chart
 And I take what's given me
 Most cooperatively
 I do what people say
 And lie in bed all day
 Absolutely horrified
 I hope you're satisfied
 Isolation pushes past self-hatred, guilt and shame
 To a place where suffering is just a game
 But everybody's scared of this place
 They're staying away
 Your little house on Memory Lane
 Your little house on Memory Lane
