Cinderland Lyrics

Where I'm from buildings still cry

About the day industry died

Labor makes a rust belt man

So I found work using my hands

I walked into the hardware store

Same woman, always worked the floor

Didn't even know she knew my name

Till the day she frowned at me and said

"You're selling yourself short

I thought you would do more

This town has nothing going on

You should get the hell out of Dodge"

I am from Cinderland

Home of the calloused hands

Forged by my memories

I fled like a refugee

On the day the scandal came out

It split in half our sleeping town

Neighbors and brothers put at odds

While crooked men escaped the law

I buried lies to hide the wreck

I carried guilt around my neck

Heavy was the burden that I bore

Like the concrete that my father poured

This place stopped being home

The clouds said there's no hope

The people proved them right

I knew I had to leave that night

I am from Cinderland

Home of the calloused hands

Forged by my memories

I fled like a refugee

Fire has made me strong

Burns tell me I belong

It's tragedy in a song

But it made me who I am

I'm from Cinderland

There's a place in me, that will never leave

I moved away, but it still stays, some flawed part of me

There's a place in me, that will never leave

I moved away, but it still stays, some flawed part of me

There's a place in me, that will never leave

I moved away, but it still stays, some flawed part of me

I am from Cinderland

Home of the calloused hands

Forged by my memories

I fled like a refugee

Fire has made me strong

Burns tell me I belong

It's tragedy in a song

But it made me who I am

I was forged by the cinders

And raised by the sinners

I'm from the Cinderland
