I Don’t Belong Here

Dock lights fade When I step outside Pyro stares back Like it knows I lied I snack on grubs In the vendor row Every face snubs Tension undertow I do my part So no one’s to blame Same old heart Wonder why I came I tried to grin Tried to blend in But to live in my skin I can’t live in sin I don’t belong here I don’t belong here (Pyro, let me go) I don’t belong here I don’t belong here (I’m made for home) Gang member chants Why you come around Wild rants And the market sounds Busted gear And a salty pout Everybody here Knows what I’m about I hear the hiss Of a nearby stare Like the whole place Wants me nowhere I try to stand Like I’m built for fire But every comment Tells me to retire I don’t belong here I don’t belong here (Pyro, let me go) I don’t belong here I don’t belong here (I’m made for home) If you see my name On a faded crate Send it past the burn Before it’s too late I’m not made For this dirty poem Give me a cold dock Give me back home I don’t belong here I don’t belong here (Pyro, let me go) I don’t belong here I don’t belong here (I’m made for home) I don’t belong here I don’t belong here (Take me through the smoke) I don’t belong here I don’t belong here (I’m still hoping)
