No one knows it like you do
If it's spoken, then it's true
How you rumble in my ear
You're in the way of how I'm thinking
And I won't let anyone
sit back and waste my time
No one!
Mazes, bold and shiny new
High hopes, showy interludes
Silver linings kill my clouds
Your tinsel-town, I do not want it
Perfect faces in a swarm
This is where I draw the line
You'd give me stones for eyes
to see the heartland
through inner city tears
Lost without my kind
Plastic painted people
You claim it is a home
and try to win me over
by telling me I'm wrong
You may choose your fortress
But this is mine
You'd give me stones for eyes
to see the heartland
through inner city tears
Lost without my kind
Sidewalks kill the spirit
I've seen it all along
You won't win me over
by telling me I'm wrong
This is my voice, my way
Why would I let you undermine it?
Choose your fortress
This is mine
You'd give me stones for eyes
