lyrics

You've got an old heart, and it's heavy on the aftermath.
It is your favourite part, it is your Cadillac.
You think everybody suffers, because everybody asks
The wrong kind of questions, about the aftermath.

You've got a secret, hidden in the bottom of your tool box.
You'll tell the undertaker about it in your contract talks.
You think everybody always thinks everybody's wrong.
We offered you some choices, and you walked.

You can make it more than an allegory.
But the pen that's on the page is the one that writes the story.
Oh you got a little older, and there ain't that much to say.
And if you had all of the answers, you must have given them all away.
Is it coming through? Or is it all just nonsense?
All the memories are true, they're just out of context.
This afternoon, when you were digging through your closets,
Was it after you, or were you after it?

When the car crashed, I guess something had to give.
They said it was the morphine drip that made you want to live.
There is an easy way out of every situation we just can't know where it leads.
There was a forest out there somewhere, but you couldn't see it for the fallen trees.

You're made of old parts, and they're heavy on the aftermath.
If you got one regret I bet it was dying from a heart attack.
You think everybody wonders, but, no, everybody knows.
We all make choices, and it shows.
Chorus
