No this is home and I like it here



Verse I
I’m not content with just being another
I know this now to be true
I bet you never thought a boy with no hope
Could ever dream like this but I do
I give my heart to everyone
And watch as they tear it in a million pieces
Burn it like a spreadsheet from a big business that just went under
My mother always said keep your head up son
If you work at it the morning will be brighter
But her voice got faint or maybe I have just gone deaf
I don’t care to know you anymore
But I won’t speak up no, ill keep my mouth shut
And take in all your negativity
So I can run with it when you ask for help
Ill watch as that hole eats your sole
And ill pray yes ill pray because I know how much we need it

Chorus
Faith is for the blind
It’s what i've seen just watch the TV screen
Lies are for those to scared to dream
But I can’t sleep and I never dream
Does that make me a hypocrite or just a liar?
Please please cease fire
I am just afraid to just give in

Verse II
Maybe the grass is greener but the fences are too high to climb
I guess I’m stuck here with this blade of failure lodged deep inside my chest
I want to be someone not just a number in the count
I want so much and I can finally see
I have to reach out my own hand to pull myself off of this cliff
And support ropes only hold up when you tie them around your neck
So I’ll sell my pride to by a house and a car
So I can live where you can’t find me
Good morning dear
This is another day come
And another you weren’t brave enough to end
So I’ll pour another drink I can’t sleep until I do
But I wont I promised and I’m not the liar
I said it a hundred times and I swear it’s true

Chorus

Verse III
I won’t give up if you don’t
I can’t quit on you I like the smiles that you fake
I hide in them like a blanket in the winter
I am not the one to look to for answers
And they just seem to anger you anyway
I try but I am naive so take advantage of my immaturity
Why I am I so condemning maybe you do love me
And I’m just scared to be the one to ruin it
And murder everything else that lived through
The first massacre of all that made me smile

Breakdown
It’s hard to talk I can’t even breathe
You love me so hard it hurts
Or maybe it’s just the words
From your gun that have caved my chest

Chorus
I wont I wont I wont
I give up I'm done

T.W. North

Good words...but there's no flow and I can't see this being sung.

Crash_Tomas

some parts could be sung, T.W. Just not in any flow or a beat. he rhymed in an iambic pantameter sort of way at times, but he also lost it very quickly.

I'm really not sure about these lyrics. It's like an open diary. I can't imagine singing this.
