New life

New life

And you find yourself alone
Sitting in that empty little room
Reading empty little lines
From the book of someone else’s yesterdays gone bye
But this empty little town seems
To hold you in place with invisible wires
That cut you
Just beneath your skin

And the thought of this existence drives you mad
To think that forever could be just like this
Wasting time on people who think
Time is something relevant

And crying for the things they never say
And the years come and go but you never feel
Like you've grown up
Always just the same
Only the days get harder
And the thought of flying
Is the only thing keeping you from losing your mind
But the wires remind you
That this city has you
Just beneath your skin

And when you finely step into the light
You find all the things you dreamed of
All the little things you never knew
All the sights and sounds and smells and laughter
And the feelings you never thought you could give into
But somehow something doesn’t fit
Not the way it should, not the way you dreamed

And the scars that never heal
Always remind you
Of the ones who never leave
Clinging to the only things they know
In this god forsaken little town
And maybe someday we'll grow up
But where’s the since in that
When this town will always have you
Just Beneath your skin
