The Verses - Hometown lyrics
rate meid rides home form school at the end of the day
He knows he has to fool them
He has to appear unchanged
Nobody ask him where it is he's been
And he's hurting like hell
And he hopes his mama can't see
Shit's going down now in our hometowns
But we can't get a handle on it
I've been watching you drown for so many years
That it's almost slipped away
I've been swallowing it down like a bitter pill
Cos we don't wanna talk about it
Just been letting it fade away
And I had a friend she told me the things she know
She thought it was normal it was happening right at home
Oh she stayed silent I know she was afraid of her dad
Oh she stayed silent it was the only home she had
Shit's going down now in our hometowns
But we can't get a handle on it
I've been watching you drown for so many years
That it's almost slipped away
I've been swallowing it down like a bitter pill
Cos we don't wanna talk about it
Just been letting it fade away
Oh and it almost fade
Almost fades away
And it almost fades
Almost fades away
Oh nanananana etc
Three out of five of my best friends told me things so sad
Oh I swear you would cry if you coulda heard the things they said
Now this shit's going down now in our hometowns
But we can't get a handle on it
I've been watching you drown for so many years
That it's almost slipped away
I've been swallowing it down like a bitter pill
Cos we don't wanna talk about it
Just been letting it fade away
Almost fades
It almost fades away
And it almost fade
Almost fades away
