why do you come here they say
every summer
don't you have anywhere better to be
you arrive with the butterfly weed
blow into town like a cottonwood seed
something's buried under Gary Indiana
something's buried under Gary Indiana
there's blood on the lake shore
keening from the wild
haven't you felt it moving
deep in the soil
so i have coming for years
every summer
cause that's when the symptoms appear
ask your friends bout their prophetic dreams
ask your kids bout the shadows they've seen
seems like everyone but you's got a feeling
something's buried under Gary Indiana
something's buried under Gary Indiana
it'll swallow the steel mills
the lake's gonna boil
haven't you felt it crawling
deep in the soil
something's buried under Gary Indiana
something's buried under Gary Indiana

I just woke up here
I am 7 seconds old
I go in your ears
I am exactly what you told me to be and I
I will never change or mould
At least not for long
You are my dad
I am your song
It’s been 30 seconds now and
Boy feels good to stretch these legs
Pick up the pace and run and jump
And see how far this road’ll take me
Oh hey, what’s that? I found this chord, oh please dad, can we keep it?
You say: song that there’s a minor chord, its only good for somber feelings
So I put it back down where it was
You teach me right from wrong
You are my dad
And I am your song
But look at me, a minute in
And now I’ve found some friends
They back me up, they make me fuller,
Act as perfect complements
And now people keep on stopping me
To tell me what I am
What this sound is all about
And what it means to all of them
I am anguish, I am heartache
I am unbearable to hear
I am closure, I am power,
I am brutally sincere
But dad you never told me I could make these people cry
I thought you brought me here so I could be something they like
You say you didn’t mean it, never wanted this for me, I may not
Be the song you meant to write, but I’m the one they need
The one they need
Sometimes you get it right, even if they take it wrong
You are my dad
But I’m their song
