Little Town

Welcome back they've told me they have found you yet again
Walking down the store, looking where to end your suffering
Clerk just told you they won't sell you razors here again
Running back home, feeling like a cat who's gone astray

In a little town where there's no justice to be made
Where the little hounds are just as ghastly as the big were
In a little town where we should just give in
To the curse

Don't bother screaming there is no one that can rescue him
I have tried but no one can rescue him
Someone watches but they seem to like playing pretend

In this little town everyone takes but no one gives
In this little town where no one feels for you and yields

Walking back home, doubting anything could be the same
Looking down, I know other eyes are wandering
I don't know how I'll hide the scars marked underneath my chin
Don't let them know you that were raped out of your happiness

In a little town where justice has never been served
In this little town where little kids just disappear
In this little town where no one gives a damn

In this little town where all my words fall on deaf ears
In this little town where all my metaphors are real
In this little town where everyone's asleep
But I'm awake, I've always been, I'll always be
