about

This track was written while I was feeling the effects of getting caught up in the material side of life. Realizing everything that was important to me I already had and that the memories are what last over anything bought or owned.

lyrics

An old farmhouse
With broken bones
Struggling to stand
A lifetime of weather played it's hand
A rotten frame
With no window
A dried out wooden shell
A thousand paycheques couldn't help

This is the way it goes
Working to build a home
Only the memories survive
All these materials
Breakdown and decompose
Only the memories survive

A neighbourhood
Of vacancy
Cracked up old concrete
A ghost town
Once a great city
Chasing gold
Prosperity
The promise wouldn't keep
Love was our only currency

This is the way it goes
Working to build a home
Only the memories survive
All these materials
Breakdown and decompose
Only the memories survive
