Homebound 歌词

On being comatose Don't worry just yet You'll feel it in your toes But not what comes next This mantras typical For all the boys back at home It isn't cynical But passed on their own She wasn't sick with it She had a power to her name She dropped out with a kid and wondered how things got this way And all this weight she bears Pulling the corners of her back Somehow it all just seems so sad They're all here I'm out there They've been stuck all these years So tell me Why do I get so down When I visit my hometown They're all here I'm out there I'll move west in a year So tell me Why do I get so down When I visit my hometown They're homebound They're homebound In school they had their fun White garland necks But with the system won A blue collar death He kept his cool with it Sustained the scarlet on his neck His hands were calloused with the labor and the ten years spent And all this weight he bears Affixed a fixture on his chest He kicks and screams in hopes these Final words may still not be his last I'm sick Of trying These dreams Keep dying off My youth Is lost Count up The cost How can I make it stop They're all here I'm out there They've been stuck all these years So tell me Why do I get so down When I visit my hometown They're all here I'm out there I'll move west in a year So tell me Why do I get so down When I visit my hometown They're all here I'm out there They've been stuck All these years So tell me Why do I get so down When I visit my hometown They're all here I'm out there I'll move west In a year So tell me Why do I get so down When I visit my hometown They're homebound They're homebound
