lyrics

standing on a pier away from home drinking a beer
as the sun goes down so silently behind us
it's almost summer in new england but it's 25 degrees
in this sleepy little fucking seaside town
padlocks on the chainlink fence secrets whispered into hands
are left behind but not forgotten
at the navy yard across the bay they see you throw your key away
and hear it when you say the words you'll never speak again
her cigarette clings to her lips as she thinks about
the wire snips and chilly hands that cut the fence
to steal locks from countless strangers
stealing secrets, stealing lives the navy base glows at sunrise
but there are others who can see right through
the darkness of the night
standing on a pier away from home drinking a beer
click a padlock on the fence but I don't know who can hear
it snaps and echoes out across the water and I
walk away alone
padlocks on the chainlink fence secrets whispered into hands
are left behind but not forgotten
on a computer several states away they watch you throw your key away
and save it when you say the words you'll never speak again
you'll never speak again
