I don't live there anymore


you talk to me of old days
everything that went before
I appreciate you asking
but I don't live there anymore

you talk to me of home
life behind the old screen door
I know you like nostalgia
but I don't live there anymore

          memories 
          don't mean nothing to me
          burn them all to ashes
          scatter them upon the sea

you talk to me of family
I do my best to ignore
your words of human kindness
but I don't live there anymore

          memories
          don't mean nothing to me
          except days and times
          where I'd rather be

you talk to me of old days
photos in a drawer
she's someone I used to know
I don't live there anymore
