Lunr - Sylacauga Lyrics

I'm not the one your parents want to see
They hear a story and think less of me
And I'm always the one left to defend myself
Padded walls and shopping malls are just an hour's drive away
They can't lock me up, can't pull me down
But you know what they say, "it's harder to escape"

I live in a town with some Indian name
Divided in half by some stupid train
So if you happen to be late
Remind me not to even ask you why
I go to a school where clicks of people are cool
Everyone lies about living by the golden rule
And everything you say comes back another kinda way
I swear to god its gonna be so hard to escape here

I can't stand forever being locked in here
So how will you handle another year
I'd rather feel the sunburn,
Than to miss you at the beach
Would you rather feel the music
As it brings you to your knees?
Like the shy cheerleader writing songs about her crazy side she wishes everyone could see

So now watch your sneaky eyes as they creep back to all those times
And for heaven's sake erase me away of every single trace you find
Everyone will learn to love again
Although it seems this pain will never end
I think it better to keep things the way they are
Otherwise it's gonna be so hard to escape here
