Small Town Hell

I hold this town in contempt
Despite the beauty it beholds
I hold this town in contempt
This place is eating away my soul

I hate everything about it
Like how small it is, how slow
I hate how it makes me feel
I hate how it's not home

I miss being adventurous
I miss the highway just next door
The fast pace of the city life
There always being more

Now I'm stranded because I chose to be
All I want is to get out
To escape this place before I go insane
I should've known that's what this town's about

I hold this town in contempt
There's nothing here to do
It's always so quiet and boring
I'm just lucky I'm in school

I hold this town in contempt
Damn it for not being home
I hold this town in contempt
For all the animosity it's shown

I'll stick it out until I need to
I'll wait till that fateful day
When I can finally live in my city
And forever there I'll always stay

I hold this town in contempt
Despite the beauty it beholds
But i'll get out of Hell soon enough
My city's all I'll ever want to know
