Goodbye to an Ugly Place Lyrics

I walk out

Of my old stage

It's not hard to say

“Goodbye to an ugly place”

And my friends they don’t watch T.V

It takes one to know one

But you'd think they’d still believe

I see something behind me

Loomin’, trying to define me

It approaches, I detect it, something tragic

‘Til I see in my reflection, it's like

A weight that breaks my shoulders

The ghost of an unknown soldier

Someday I hope to get away but until then I’ll learn to say

“Goodbye to an ugly place”

And I see faces

They're following me

Judging my direction

And the privilege I receive

My skin is made of plastic

And it’s cracking beneath

I'm falling apart piece by piece

I see something behind me

Loomin’, trying to define me

It approaches, I detect it, something tragic

‘Til I see in my reflection, it's like

A weight that breaks my shoulders

The ghost of an unknown soldier

Someday I hope to get away but until then I’ll learn to say

“Goodbye to an ugly place”

But can’t you see

I put trust in myself, loving nobody else

And I start to complain “a death is a pain” when I know

There’s something inherently wrong in my brain

I deny it

I have others to confide in when I see what's wrong I hide it

It’s only simple science to me

Yeah, I got problems of my own

Like judging the difference between

What’s right and what I know

Every day I see the world

Changing from better to worse the devil inside us unearthed

Hopefully we can find reason to hide

Hopefully we can all start to get by and I don't understand

Local channels, newspapers, all these kids blank stares

And finding a purpose

When everyone ignores us

One of these days I will suggest proportion

But people peak over poor places to place us in mansions

Match us with madness

Mindless satisfaction to saturate

Sadness with denial while the monsters loom over us

Seeking a revival so

I see something behind me

Loomin’, trying to define me

It approaches, I detect it, something tragic

‘Til I see in my reflection, it's like

A weight that breaks my shoulders

The ghost of an unknown soldier

Someday I hope to get away but until then I’ll learn to say

“Goodbye to an ugly place”

Goodbye to an ugly place

Goodbye to an ugly place
