Homecoming

Since I've been away it's been hard
To cope with the feeling
That every time I am back here
Still feels like leaving

This city's not what it used to be
Barren like there's no memory left

Deepen in the sunny streets where we used to play now there's sorrow
Passing down in their family trees
This heritage follows

Turning into this death drive you see
Crumbling all hope we thought we had

How can you live here
Call this home
And feel like a stranger for so long
How can you live here
When it's all you know

Walking around these old blocks today
I can hear their ravings
So realize it before it's too late
They're not worth saving

This is not the best we can be
Crumbling all love we thought we shared

How can you live here
Call this home
And feel like a stranger for so long
How can you live here
When it's all you know
How can you live here
All this time
Still waiting for some kind of sign
How can you live here
When it's all you know

It took me a while to understand
I was naive but now I can see
You're one of them!

Lately, we've been draining all the water
Trying to flood this town
Or maybe we've been waiting for a fire
That could burn it to the ground
Lately, we've been draining all the water
Trying to flood this town
Or maybe we've been waiting for a fire
That could burn it to the ground

Burn it to the ground

There's a time
To begin
All a friendship can be
But for now, we are done
We are now enemies

No longer seventeen
With a bag full of dreams
Now I'm too old to put up
With your old bigotries

So the world that I see
You won't find in those streets
There's no place for beliefs
Or delusions of greed

Cause this heart of mine has just two settings
Nothing at all or too much
There is no in between
No in between
