Retrospect
as a sign of their lunacy
they just wont let me be
a native son to their homel;and
yet they pretend that they dont know me
They carried me to the county jail
just because they couldn;t send me to hell
if they had their sickening ways
they'd have my mentality impailed
I tried before to learn their ways
back when fitting in was all the craze
but i couldn't lie to myself
how i miss those younger days
Mama tried to give me boundaries
express myself, but dont express me
dont do your best do whats acceptable
son, dont you make a fool outta me
the ones i loved, the ones that i cared for
a few years back there were so many more
they closed their eyes forgot my name
turned their heads and they locked their doors
No matter how many times i tried
to leave this town , i cannot hide
the fact that i just wanna settle down
in the town where my father died
