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 moneyās 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 canāt let the bad thing take a hold of me. Itās fine Itās a sign of the times Iām fine But I still felt empty. Another night online Iām fine, but I still felt empty. But Iāll stay for the unseen I wonāt let the bad thing in Iām fine. Itās fine Itās a sign when my brotherās cried I saw no sun, I saw no light And no tomorrowās seemed in sight And if the Devil leadās the dance then thatās alright Cause Iāve felt pain for years and years And Iāll try lose it all tonight But thereās 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 moneyās 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 canāt 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 Iād written Now Iāve made my decisions I just pray Iām forgiven And Iām mourning a place Iāve never left. How can I say that I miss it When I know Iām complicit I know itās death was assisted I tried my best to resist it Now Iāve promised myself dreams of better weeks But itās 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 Itās 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 wonāt stand and answer the bell this time My title gets lost on the stool Itās 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 moneyās 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 canāt 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 moneyās 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 canāt let the bad thing in I canāt let the bad thing in. Whereās the pride in this city? I wonāt 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 thatās the price of this city. Whereās the pride in this city? I wonāt 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 Iām 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. "
