Story behind the song
Recorded live off of 100.3 the River from my first performance at the Preservation Pub in Knoxville there on January 13, 2004. Its about my hometown of Morristown. Its about really wanting to move on to bigger and better things, places, and (most of all) stages. Its about being tired of small town gossip, shady people, and smalltown girls without a heart.
Lyrics
I’m still tangled in this town’s web of lies;
The once friendly faces searching for my disguise.
But this time the prison walls are coming down;
I’m finally leaving this place, ain’t coming back around.
Prechorus:
I’m so sick and tired of this lonely town;
Rumors follow my name in faces all around.
Won’t you come back here and save me darling?
I know you won’t, I know you won’t, I know you won’t, I know you won’t.
Once again she comes to leave me falling,
And down I come, down I come.
Chorus:
Forget me, release me ‘cause I can’t take the pain of this lonely town.
Forgive me for leaving myself, ‘cause I can’t come back, I forgot how.
And now I’m feeling like a stranger that don’t belong ‘round here.
And like I’ve lived a lifetime in my short twenty years.
Another curtain’s falling down it’s time to leave,
And to find the things that I’m hiding up my sleeve.
Prechorus
Chorus
Bridge:
The flashbacks of this place are of the day I lost my mind,
But when the sunshine grin splashes on your face I start to feel alive.
So please need me or please lead my on, ‘cause life’s not for living alone,
When there’s an angel at my door, there’s still a daemon in my home.
Chorus
