[Verse] This town holds me in its grip Silent streets I can’t escape Echoes of dreams forever slip Stuck in this never-ending scrape [Verse 2] Empty schools and dying trees Tired faces that I know too well Feels like I'm rotting from the knees Locked in this bitter hometown hell [Chorus] I hate this place but I never want to leave Wrapped in chains of memories worn Thought I’d fly but it's hard to believe Stuck between the love and the scorn [Verse 3] Stars above don't light my way Just reminders of wishes that drowned Every step I take seems to sway Pulled back to this cursed ground [Bridge] Heard the trains call far away Yet here I stand on this track Every ounce of will did fray Dreams feel heavy on my back [Chorus] I hate this place but I never want to leave Wrapped in chains of memories worn Thought I’d fly but it's hard to believe Stuck between the love and the scorn
