Devynitely - hometown hero Lyrics

No, it's like, get this
And you're always saying,
"You're gonna leave someday!"
"You'll make it big"
But I don't wanna leave this place
No, I sure as hell want to
But I don't know how
It's not like I was even born in this town
Got me feelin like pessimistic
Got a doomism mindset but I'll make it big
That's right
That's what you said
And we all know that you're always getting over it
Wake up, stay home, stay beat down
This isn't your home but it's your hometown
There's always gonna be a remnant of you in me
There's always gonna be
There's always gonna be
Just to be certain
Let's do an analysis
See how bad you feel when I check none of the boxes
Let's be realistic
Hang your head and give your body in to the toxins
Hey fellas, let's give it up
For the woman living down the street
Rumor has it that she, well she
She took a downturn when she turned thirteen
Oh, don't you know?
Don't you know the rumor?
Yeah, legend has it that she crashed and burned
With nothing to show for all her efforts
Just take some pity and take a picture
Wake up, stay home, stay beat down
This isn't your home but it's your hometown
There's always gonna be a remnant of you in me
There's always gonna be
And if Icarus didn't get the chance to burn
He'd be another dead man in the dirt
I'd rather be closer to the sun than he was
And I wouldn't need wings to do-
It's come to the point where faking it seems fake
And making it doesn't come the same way
If she can be poetic enough today
Maybe kids in the future will know her name
Wake up, stay home, stay beat down
This isn't your home but it's your hometown
There's always gonna be a remnant of you in me
There's always gonna be
There's always gonna be
There's always gonna be
There's always gonna be
There's always gonna be
There's always gonna be
Positively pessimistic
Putting on the best performances you'll ever see
A melodramatic period piece
And call me hell-raising
You can call me a heretic
But to me and to Icarus
It's worse to be boring than pathetic
Wake up, stay home, stay beat down
This isn't your home but it's your hometown
There's always gonna be a remnant of you in me
There's always gonna be
There's always gonna be
There's always gonna be
There's always gonna be
There's always gonna be
There's always gonna-
Oh, wake up, stay home, stay beat down
This isn't your home but it's your hometown
There's always gonna be a remnant of you in me
There's always gonna be
There's always gonna be
There's always gonna be
There's always gonna be
There's always gonna be
There's always gonna be
