Where I Was Born

Some of the walls are still standing
Some have been raised to the ground
There is no beginning or ending
In this town, I've been hangin' round

It's just like how I'm still standing
Differs from how I used to look at life
To understand how I fortified
Go deep inside the no mans land
And find out how to fight to survive

Don't let down!
And don't break down!
Just hands down in the town
Where I was born
(I was born)
(I was born)
(I was born)
Where I was torn
(Where I was torn)
(I was torn)
(I was torn)
Where I have sworn
I wouldn't mourn
But using thorns to adorn the walls
Where I was born
Oh!

I won't complain
I never needed shiny pearls
But it's been no easy road as far as I recall
With friends
In school
At home
And let alone girls
I've been climbing every fucking wall

So I found that boose
Late nights as well as cigarettes
And sex
All felt the same
I just abided
It was my escape
And taking shape
As a way to hide
From my aching life and shame
Knowing I had no one to blame

Don't let down!
And don't break down!
Just hands down in the town
Where I was born
(I was born)
(I was born)
(I was born)
Yeah, where I was torn
(Where I was torn)
(I was torn)
(I was torn)
Where I have sworn
I wouldn't mourn
But using thorns to adorn the walls
Where I was born

Trying to find the answers
To the questions
I've asked myself each day
Trying to keep on walking
Knocking down walls
And find myself a way up to
Where pain is pain and love is love
Rise above the town
Where I was born
Where I'm reborn
Where I have sworn
I wouldn't mourn
But using roses to adorn
Where I was born
Where I got strong
Where I was born
