The Park Lyrics

Walked naked under moonlight

Left clothes by trees we'd recognize

Talked about high school and pride

Talked about some friends we didn't know were short on time

Make up your own rules in your park, when it's empty

Walk like giants through the hills, in control of your own safety

Cried, quiet, in pavilions

Where my love would start and also end

Commit to memory, every single line

"I don't a boy a need a man"

And softly then: "Goodbye"

Goodbye

Make up your own rules on the side roads, when they're empty

Trash can pentagrams are safer

Than the cults we die for every goddamn week

Stay in the park

The wind took all of it away

Well it seems that Time, this time, wants everything

Like your father coming out to find us, sprawled out on a hill

Or the heavy chest of an old friend falling still

But time won't take our illnesses away

Shed spirits keep our memories at bay

Make up your own rules when you're fucked up, when you're empty

Lost, little stupid orbs of light, we bounced when we were singing

Stay in the park when the cancer comes

Stay in the park when they won't let you love

Stay in the park when you start losing blood

And don't you fucking let them tell you you're a failure of a son

I prayed to blades of grass and tree bark that they'd keep our secrets

Underneath the buckeye tree with my imaginary therapist

I am going to love you always, and I promise that's some real shit

But you'll have to take my word for it, cause I do not know what real is

I don't even know what real is
