Centralia, PA

Centralia is the site of a mine fire that's been burning underground since the 60s. It's almost completely uninhabited now, and the smoke coming from underground almost makes like look like the town is crying.

my mind is cracked my heart is broken and torn
and it feels like we’ve been burning since we were born

the wreckage that you left still lies for miles
i can’t bring myself to clean up the piles

Sometimes I can't tell if you really want me to stay
so i keep hanging around like the ghosts of Centralia, PA

i’m clinging to a past that was never real
i’m lingering while no one else is here

i’m waiting til my mistakes go away
so i keep hanging around like the ghosts of Centralia, PA
