“Well I grew up in the fallout from the riots in the ’90s
Static cranes stand lifeless, casting shadows on the town
I stare at that hallowed ocean as if to pick a fight
For the dreams my old man drempt for me lay on the other side
I would leave if only I can find a reason
I’m mean because I grew up in New England
I got dreams, but I can’t make myself believe them
Spend the rest of my life with what could have been
And I will die in the house that I grew up in
I’m homesick…”
