Handful of Snowdrops - Dead City lyrics

Home is where your heart's confined You wear its shame, you wear its face Home's where you were left behind It's scars and memories time won't erase Home is where ignorance roams Home is where the bigots never sleep Where hatred goes down to the bone Where goes the promises you won't keep It's where winter sieges all year long Home is where you try and where you fail Home is where our names are carved in stone It's where our last breath will be exhaled Home is where they love their home Home is where their neighbors don't exist Home is walled up with a stack of stones And home will have you crushed if resist Where what you wished for in this life Missed every turn Where every bridge your raised Collapsed and burned Home is where you will find me My home is the dead city Home is where your heart's confined You wear its shame, you wear its face Home's where you were left behind It's scars and memories time won't erase Home's nothing like what we were told It doesn't get any worse than this It's much more than a heart can ever hold An exile I've turned down for a kiss
