Текст песни I Am X - Oh Beautiful Town

I grew up blind
just like everyone's child
in the warmth of milk and deceit
smothered by love and the chemical dust
there was never enough to believe

BRIDGE:

They chewed me up

they spat me out 

of their system and onto their street

and the rest of my life was spent to forget 

all the greatness that could never be

Oh beautiful town

I remember you blacker than the night

the whores and the sick mouths

the bad taste and the neon lights

Oh beautiful town,

where are you now with your binge insecurities?

I shot you down beautiful town 

because you tear your children

into pieces 

Absence twisted with fondness 
is the horror I couldn't forget
programmed into great art 
of family, lies and debts

BRIDGE 2:

too much expectation 

followed by hope and then hate in the mess

and the rest of my life was a glorious test 

of my will and my selfish neglect

Oh beautiful town

I remember you blacker than the night

the whores and the sick mouths

the bad taste and the neon lights

Oh beautiful town,

where are you now with your binge insecurities?

I shot you down beautiful town 

because you tear your children

into pieces 

On the floor boards under insolent feet
I mapped the hopscotch to my parents retreat
with a lavender bag in my hand 
and words of desperation on my tongue

BRIDGE 3:

goodnight father, goodnight mother

Are you still awake?
