Hometown
Message Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Mind stuck, I'm lagging
Crawl to you, bones weak, muscle nagging
Tone it down, it sounds like I'm bragging
But I'm just mapping,
And unpacking all that I'm passing
Dragging a corpse, of coarse
I am, suddenly unsure tap it in morse
I don't know morse, no remorse, drag a corpse
Stay in the webs away from the light source
No glow, stay low, stay close to the dirt
Leaking breathe and shivers afraid I'll blurt
I'm afraid of the dark so I stay alert
Afraid of the goons till they sing their tunes
Sing your tunes, flood my heart monsoons
You took my heart now baby harpoon
Breathe in me, bleeding under the moon
I'm a new man by the mirror of noon
Welcome to my hometown
A city of ruins we stay down
Foundation built upon
Skeletons who govern underground
Sing a spooky tune for me
Something so discomforting
Cut my heart, bleed under the moon
One breathe, one taste of your bloom
Welcome to my home now
I'm distant can you give me gravity
I'm wayward, can you me gravity
Take me away, emotions lay at bay
Welcome to my home now
Ghost and the ghouls stay on the prow
Ghost and the ghouls say make your vows
Yes please, I need gravity
Hold me under I can't catch my breath
I just need assurance and a reply
Try to comply; voice will amplify
Hold me under till I don't dream about death
Mecca with the walls, Mecca make the calls
Can you direct, come and share your protocols
Give me structure, be my architect
Take effect, no more retrospect
Provide your intellect
Pain is real, do you tire to feel?
Often I do, that's why I'm making a deal
Shake a hand, sign the line, redefine
Build a shrine, all in time, your design
Walking with ticking bomb and I'm told it's malign
Cut out my heart, set fire to my brain
Bury me should any impulsive thoughts remain
Shut the valves feeding needy lungs
Breathe a secret that shall never leave my tongue
My tongue won't friend an ear
So long as I am here, so long as I still fear
So long as I disappear from the clear
I won't interfere, I hate it here
Drink and breathe; my thoughts are less severe
Welcome to my hometown
A city of ruins we stay down
Foundation built upon
Skeletons who govern underground
Sing a spooky tune for me
Something so discomforting
Cut my heart, bleed under the moon
One breathe, one taste of your bloom
Welcome to my home now
I'm distant can you give me gravity
I'm wayward, can you me gravity
Take me away, emotions lay at bay
Welcome to my home now
Ghost and the ghouls stay on the prow
Ghost and the ghouls say make your vows
Yes please, I need gravity
Sing a spooky tune for me
Something so discomforting
Cut my heart, bleed under the moon
One breathe, one taste of your bloom
Welcome to my home now
Ghost and the ghouls stay on the prow
Ghost and the ghouls say make your vows
Yes please, I need gravity
