lyrics

Can you look back to your earliest moments?
I look back on mine with lament
I try to embrace the images I can't erase
Cause they always lead me back to this place

It's daunting like the first time you witnessed adult morbid curiosity

With denial and doubt, you block it out
Infantile amnesia

Pennsylvania is a black hole
That I carry with me wherever I go
It's etched it's scars, deep into my skin

Small towns have so many dark secrets
And the silence is hautning
It covers up the crimes that they commit

It always leads me back to this place

Pennsylvania is a black hole
A burden that's with me wherever I go

It's fifteen years and I still feel it
There ain't no cure for the Chester County blues
Been fifteen years that I could feel it
Can I ever move on from you?

This is a pleading for a home to return too
A return only on canvas and on string
And on the streets beneath the world
And only in dreams

It's fifteen years and I still feel it
There ain't no cure for the Chester County blues
Been fifteen years that I could feel it
Can I ever return to you?
