It's A Shithole That We Call Home (free) 03:09
lyrics

as I lie here alone a lamp on by my bed I recount all the days that you've been in my head all the times that we shared and the wars that we fought I thought you'd remember me I guess you forgot it's a shithole that we call home it's a shithole that we call home the sidewalks and storefronts that line the main strip the working class ghosts who've had enough of it I gaze upon boys who are covered in dirt and sweet little girls who look like they've been hurt it's a shithole that we call home it's a shithole that we call home my mother is weeping in the room next to mine she's telling herself that everything's fine she thinks that I'm sleeping but I'm wide awake but I don't know how much more of this I can take it's a shithole that we call home it's a shithole that we call home you gave me hope for the future you filled my days full of light but I'm guessing my dreams weren't as real as they seemed and you won't be coming home with me tonight this life is as hard as a stone or a brick and home is a hole that's filled in with shit my heart it grows fonder for you every day distance makes the heart grow at least that they say it's a shithole that we call home it's a shithole that we call home

and the man who'd boast the biggest grin would slowly fade in time let it go me girl let it go me girl can't you see that he's lost his mind oh the memories and the photographs that preserve the golden age and the echoes of laughter that haunt these walls are what get me through the day he was a man of pride a man so full of love that he shared with all he knew so I wonder how it's justified that he was taken from us to soon as the years went by he'd show his softer side as he hurtled to the end unbeknownst to us it'd come sooner than the expectations of his friends it was a typical day he went to drive away looked left before looking right inched ahead and looked upon a woman's face on the brakes with all her might seven years ago I wish that I had known that time was running out oh the things I'd say and live out every day make every second count because the man who'd boast the biggest grin... as his eyes rolled back and basic functions failed he forgot all of our names but that did nothing to stop his loving wife from visiting every day and with the nurses round she'd tell him stories and lace her fingers inside his and if I didn't know what it meant before I know now that's what true love is
