16th Ward from Romances You by Bent Denim
Ben — "You hear about people waking up and realizing that their live has panned out in a way that they expected and its disappointing. This is an account of such situations. This song has the most tracks on the whole record and a kick drum pattern I’m not sure how my brother played."

Lyrics
woke up in a ranch house
only remember turning off the lights
whispering about stage fright
blond hair & black lace
checkerboard linoleum
under my feet
bent over the kitchen sink
closing my eyes
this was a daydream
of businessmen alike
a stable family life
tv dinners & a hot wife
lived by a graveyard
back in the sixteenth ward
we were having a good day
our neighbors buried themselves in our front yard
they named their dog dixie
flinched when she barked at me
when we used the back door
lock it we’ve been robbed before
i’m stealing your cable
and using your wifi
stole some bank statements
left town started a new life
