Names from Girlhate by Girlhate

Kids out of high school
Fill the local paper
From the police blotter
To their father's dealership
He says to me

I've got a deal for you, just
One of the family, yeah
Just like his father, and
Just like his father's father

The trees fed by the stream
As it drains to the river
The kids fed by the dreams
Of their parents' futures

God how I wish I could
Sleep on those stream banks
And melt into the topsoil
My bones and all their ligaments and

All of these people
All of them have names
And even if I could remember
I couldn't bear to say

Under the bridge
Where the kids would swap their smokes
Sits deep under the water
Your long forgotten joke

When I gave you a ride
And you threw it from the window
And it'll sit there longer than
I could do anything at

All of these people
All of them have names
And even if I could remember
I couldn't bare to say

And over the bridge where your father dived
And the rock like a whale at lower tides
And pass by the dam and through the canal
Where our parents expected that we would drown
And up through the mountains and over the tower
We'll curve up the road as the sun's dipping lower
And throw our beer cans off the edge
And I'll find another reason to leave here again
And

Sometimes when I sit
With all these thoughts crammed in my head
I feel my body slip away
And I'm biking home instead
And I know I'll spend the whole night
At home laying in my bed
Maybe with a second chance, then
We could still be friends
