Lyrics for This Is Not The Place I Belong

I do my work I stay involved I pay my rent Pray for a god To heal my hurt To find resolve My money’s spent To stay absolved. In bed with technofedualism, Long past the dead old heads of brutalism Try tear it down I see no crown Around a town of new division. The place I love is falling quickly to its knees I can’t let the bad thing take a hold of me. It’s fine It’s a sign of the times I’m fine But I still felt empty. Another night online I’m fine, but I still felt empty. But I’ll stay for the unseen I won’t let the bad thing in I’m fine. It’s fine It’s a sign when my brother’s cried I saw no sun, I saw no light And no tomorrow’s seemed in sight And if the Devil lead’s the dance then that’s alright Cause I’ve felt pain for years and years And I’ll try lose it all tonight But there’s a price. I do my work I stay involved I pay my rent Pray for a god To heal my hurt To find resolve My money’s spent To stay absolved. In bed with technofedualism Long past the dead old heads of brutalism Try tear it down I see no crown Around a town of new division This place I love is falling quickly to its knees I can’t let the bad thing take a hold of me. I tried to tear down the system Screamed at whoever would listen Tried to pay for provisions With just the words that I’d written Now I’ve made my decisions I just pray I’m forgiven And I’m mourning a place I’ve never left. How can I say that I miss it When I know I’m complicit I know it’s death was assisted I tried my best to resist it Now I’ve promised myself dreams of better weeks But it’s the pain and shame that still makes you feel complete. Irish eyes are smiling Rinty Monaghan sing your song My grandfather Sunday morning, tea in the pot and the fry is on Those days are gone, the cities changed I wave goodbye to the place I knew It’s kept alive for plot amour But the only tales I hear are cruel. 32, Nonpareil Dempsey Unanswered shots to the head Crisis actor filled with laughter After , Lazarus comes back from the dead. I won’t stand and answer the bell this time My title gets lost on the stool It’s a cruel goodbye past the passport line As they smile and say come back soon. I do my work I stay involved I pay my rent Pray for a god To heal my hurt To find resolve My money’s spent To stay absolved. In bed with technofedualism, Long past the dead old heads of brutalism Try tear it down I see no crown Around a town of new division The place I love is falling quickly to its knees I can’t let the bad thing take a hold of me I do my work I stay involved I pay my rent Pray for a god To heal my hurt To find resolve My money’s spent To stay absolved In bed with technofedualism, Long past the dead old heads of brutalism I tear them down Wear no crown Around a town of new division I can’t let the bad thing in I can’t let the bad thing in. Where’s the pride in this city? I won’t survive in this city How can you thrive, and raise a child On a 9 to 5 in this city Spent all my life in this city I met my wife in this city My brother died My mother cried But that’s the price of this city. Where’s the pride in this city? I won’t survive in this city I lost my cousins to the cruelty of time in this city Spent all my life in this city I pray I die in this city I have no choice I’m shackled, and tied to this city. And when I pass on to the other side Carry me down the road I played on as a child And remember me with a Sisyphus smile Thank you and goodnight. "
