lyrics

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
Afixed 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 homebound
They’re homebound
