Here To Say

Little sad boy coming from the underground

I always knew I was different from the other crowd

The other kids just want to grow up here and settle down

But there's no way in hell that I won't get out of this town

And everyday I wanted nothing more than to get out

But as the years go by, I know my time is running out

So will I ever get the chance to make it out myself

Or will I rot here with the rest of everybody else?

'Cause where I come from, I was so out of place

I'd just wipe away the tears from my white trash face

And say eh, yeah I'm not okay

But when I grow up, I swore I'd be famous

I could wipe the little grins off their white trash faces

Say eh, I will be okay. I'm okay now

But then the camera stops

And all the lights go off

You can take me from this place

But I know my soul is here to stay, yeah

And all the people talk

Now the illusion is gone

You can take me from this place

But I know my soul is here to stay

'Cause where I come from, I was so out of place

I just wipe away the tears from my white trash face

And say eh, I say eh

But when I grow up, I swore I would be famous

I could wipe the little grins off their white faces

Say eh, I say eh

But then the camera stops

And all the lights go off

You can take me from this place

But I know my soul is here to stay, yeah

And all the people talk

Now the illusion is gone

You can take me from this place

But I know my soul is here to stay

I always wonder, I always wonder what it's like

If I could only have a chance at a better life

And everyday I wonder if it's even worth the fight

'Cause what if the end of the tunnel doesn't have a light

But either way, I'm gonna find some way to get out

So maybe I could live the life I've always dreamed about

So now I wonder will I ever make it out alive

'Cause all the people say I'm here to stay

I'm here to die

But then the camera stops

And then the lights go off -

You can take me from this place

But I know my soul is here to stay, yeah

And now the people talk

And the illusion's gone -

You can take me from this place

But I know my soul is here to stay
