My town Lyrics

Growing up past twenty

In a rush to be alive

One by one they call me crazy

But I'm fine

Growing up in nowhere

On the right side of the tracks

In a way it made me crazier

Feeling cracked

I'm going back to the core

Your alarm sounds like a whisper

I'll be around forever more

Keep it down cause I'm keeping score

Make no sound, it's time to listen

Mister

Growing up to perfect

Being destined to prevail

Everyone will see I'm crazy

When I fail

Raised for ambition

Being all that I can be

You know I'm going crazy

Going free

I'm going back to the core

Your alarm sounds like a whisper

I'll be around forever more

Keep it down cause I'm keeping score

Make no sound, it's time to listen

Mister

I'll be going on without ambition

You're on a leash, I'm on a mission

You say stay on path or you'll be torn

But I've been doing my thing since I was born

I'll change my ways when you change the system

Mister

My town

You grew me up and then you let me down

You filled me up and then you let me drown

I need to go can't stand to hear

Your made up shows, your made up cheers

Your patronising, paralysing fears

Are fading out like shadows in the mist

I'm going now, so put me on that list

Of failures and of targets missed

Of memories of misguided bliss

They're just another reason to resist

I'm going back to the core

Your alarm sounds like a whisper

I'll be around forever more

Keep it down cause I'm keeping score

Make no sound, it's time to listen

Mister

I'll be going on without ambition, mister

You're on a leash, I'm on a mission, listen mister

You say stay on path or you'll be torn

But I've been doing my thing since I was born

Won't change my ways, hey

So keep your distance

Mister
