I'm headed home, I can't take the pressures of days
The rain has been pounding though I'm used to it now
I'll probably be walking but I don't know the way
I'll get home but I don't know just how
But that's how I've been going
In my hometown
The color of my bed has got my heart aching
The cadmium red from a source of sorrow
The ghost of my past that I've just forsaken
Makes me wonder if there's hope to borrow
But that's how I've been going
In my hometown
The far northern wastelands weigh down on my shoulders
The snow-filled winters where my friends all wander
The crunch of the morning and the nights just get colder
All the trials that I laid upon her
But she just left them here
In my hometown
A southern belle dancing at the edge of the barhall
My eyes caught like static to the color of her dress
My good friends all tell me I should just be careful
In my dark hours I gotta confess
That it's the same as it always was
In my hometown
The streets are all turning into rivers and I don't know where to go
Just last week I was trying to leave but people driving way too slow
And every damn day it's the same thing, the sky ain't never blue
Sitting in my bed full of cadmium red and I don't know what to do
