lyrics

A small town’s slow suicide
(Burgess-J.O’Bryant)
I hate this town and everyone in it
Hate their small town faces
And the way they smile when they spit
I woke up from a dream
Cause I couldn’t breath last night
Thought I needed you by my side
Heard a rusty noise
Out in the distance
Sounded like
An old man’s sigh
It was a small town’s slow suicide
A small town’s slow suicide
A small town’s slow suicide
But it aint got to be mine
You cut me off at the alpine package store
Just when I thought I couldn’t bleed no more
Your haunted eyes and your broken lips
That new born child on those familiar hips
Nicotine stained fingertips
Reminded me of that time
I gave you your first cigarette
It was a small town’s slow suicide
A small town’s slow suicide
A small town’s slow suicide
But it aint got to be mine
He broke your will and your ribs
Out there on that lawn
‘cause you aint got to speak
Every foolish though
That son of a bitch
Taught you to be scarred
But that girl that played with fire
Still inside that head somewhere
It was a small town’s slow suicide
A small town’s slow suicide
A small town’s slow suicide
But it aint got to be yours or mine
It ain’t got to be yours or mine
