Di Emes - Hometown Chains Lyrics

These streets are cracked they've worn me thin
The same old faces where do I fit in?
The weight of memories holds me down
I'm just a shadow in this town
The nights are quiet but my mind is loud
Dreaming of places far from this crowd
I'm suffocating can't you see?
These hometown chains won't set me free
These hometown chains they weigh me down
But I won't drown no I won't drown
The streets that raised me try to hold me back
I'm breaking out I'm running fast
I'll chase the sky I'll chase the flame
Breaking free from these hometown chains
The old cafe where we used to laugh
Feels like a cage now looking back
Every corner holds a piece of me
But I'm not the boy I used to be
The ones who stayed don't understand
Why I'm chasing dreams beyond this land
They say I'll come back settle down
But I can't live in this ghost town
The world is wide the night is long
I'll find my place where I belong
With every mile I shed the weight
No turning back it's not too late
These hometown chains they weigh me down
But I won't drown no I won't drown
The streets that raised me try to hold me back
I'm breaking out I'm running fast
I'll chase the sky I'll chase the flame
Breaking free from these hometown chains
These hometown chains they weigh me down
But I won't drown no I won't drown
The streets that raised me try to hold me back
I'm breaking out I'm running fast
I'll chase the sky I'll chase the flame
Breaking free from these hometown chains
Oo-oo oh oh
I'm breaking free from these hometown chains
