Donner Party lyrics
by Alkaline Trio



So it began this way, I don't recall a thing

And all in all I guess it's for the better

If you don't remember anything, sit and sing

There was a time when everything we did seemed second nature

There was a time when everything we did seemed free

And all in all I guess it's for the better

If you don't remember anything, sit and sing



And I wanted you to know

It was you that we were thinking of as we quietly died in the snow

A place we'd never leave

A place we'd never want to call home

A place we'd call a final resting place in pieces



So we began this way, I don't recall where we got started

And so we end this way no trace of us in spring

All in all, I guess it's for the better if you just can't feel a fucking thing

Fall asleep and die



And I wanted you to know

It was you that we were thinking of as we quietly died in the snow

A place we'd never leave

A place we'd never want to call home

A place we'd call a final resting place in pieces



And I wanted you to know

It was you that we were thinking of as we quietly died in the snow

A place we'd never leave

A place we'd never want to call home

A place we'd call a final resting place in pieces
