The Case I Crave

from Singularity by Akrasia

/

lyrics

The neon lights have all gone dark
No more sliders, no more fries
Empty tables, broken chairs
Ghostly echo of happier times

White Castle, a ghost of the past
A symbol of loss, a shadow that's cast
White Castle, you couldn't be saved
Time has erased the case that I craved

You were the first, could've been McDonald’s
But you rejected the franchise models
Perforated patty, onions, pickle and a bun
Simple tiny sliders, you could crush a ton
The tables and chairs are covered in dust
The kitchen once bustling, now silent and hushed
The smell of grease lingers in the air
But there's no one left, no one left to care

White Castle, a ghost of the past
A symbol of loss, a shadow that's cast
White Castle, you couldn't be saved
Time has erased the case that I craved

Abandoned White Castle
A lonely and forgotten place
They had the cases I would crave
Now it's just an empty grave

You could eat 'em by the sack 'til you had your fill
There never ever was one in Cherry Hill
Closed down Cleveland, Zanesville, too
Never had a castle in the 412
Columbus is two hours and a half away
But it's close as it gets for the case I crave
At least you got Krystal If you're deep down south
And you wanna stuff sliders in your hungry mouth
You can buy a frozen box for the microwave
But it ain’t the same as the case I craved

White Castle, a ghost of the past
A symbol of loss, a shadow that's cast
White Castle, you couldn't be saved
Time has erased the case that I craved
