Your old brick walls and musty smell
Surrounded by stores selling shirts for sixty dollars
Street art on your sides and cracks in your glass
And I'm standing in the rain looking at you
You were like home once
A place to explore and be anything I could be
Just you and me because why not
I walk around you, hands slowly trailing and feeling old graffiti
You're a shadow of yourself
Just like me
You used to hold adventures
Now all you hold is dust
I used to play piano
Now I can't even play a tune
Someday they'll tear you down
And you'll be replaced with another store selling shirts for sixty dollars
Someday the me right now will disappear too
And be replaced by something better
And I'll leave you behind
Because that's what happens when you're replaced
Everyone will forget you
And here and now as I stand in the rain
Sometimes I wish I didn't have to forget
At all.
