Oh Beautiful Town Lyrics - Iamx

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 

They chewed me up, they spat me out 

Of their system and onto their street 

And the rest of my life was a sprint to forget 

All the greatness that could never be 

Oh beautiful town 

I remember you blacker than 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 shut you down, beautiful town 

Because you tear your children 

Into pieces 

Absence twisted with fondness 

Is the horror I couldn't forget 

Programmed in the great art 

Of family, lies and debts 

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 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 shut 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 

Good night father, good night mother 

Are you still awake?
