Took the last train outbound as far as I could
Nailed the last day down to the ground, to the ground
I’ve seen it come up and show it’s teeth
I’ve seen it ‘round here and here’s not where I want,
where I want to be, no
Because I’ve tried
Painting mirrors full of false reflections
I made myself up, dressed to dine, the way that you’d best like me to be
But the way you want me, isn’t really, isn’t really me, no
And I won’t say I’m sorry
And I hope you know
I’m going to go
to the only place that feels like home
Where no one can fake it
and no one can tell me to settle down
Where no one can will me into feeling guilty for who I am
Even if I’m lonely
Nobody’s phony here
Where no one can get me
and no one can tell me to settle down
Where no one can will me into feeling guilty for who I am
Even if I’m lonely
Nobody’s phony here
