Stockade Kids - Hometown lyrics

[Verse 1: Justin Friello] I can't go back to my hometown Everything's changed I can't reverse my own frown That remains the same The buildings tell the story of the boys who run And cracks all in the sidewalk speak of lives that end before they've begun [Chorus 1] And I must make some change And I must rearrange The twisted world won't fall in on me And I cannot bear this river stone That pulls me under the water, the water Till it takes me away [Verse 2] The city's dark and crowded And I need my space Words are barked and shouted I need a slower pace I'm constantly surrounded by the great unknown And who will tell my story if I'm not allowed to begin to write my own? [Chorus 2] And I must make some change And I must rearrange This heavy earth won't fall on top of me And I cannot bear these fragile bones That will walk me into the water, the water Till it takes me away [Verse 3] I can't go back to my hometown Everything's changed But home's not really home now And I don't know why I came But deep inside your body is where the answer lies Where I see my own reflection and, looking back at me, it screams and replies [Chorus 3] That I must make some change I must rearrange My burning heart won't collapse on me And I cannot rest till I make you my home And my grave won't be the water, the water That takes me away
