Midwest Boundaries

from Midwest Boundaries EP by Brock Alekna

	/

lyrics

I feel this place has lost it’s touch / it seems it’s run it’s course / and I can’t find my way out / without feeling some kind of remorse / Her skies have simply turned to black / a reflection of my fear / that time will surely take my life / unless I come to grip with this my dear

I am an animal / I’ve got to get the hell out of here / these Midwest boundaries are killing me / they’re holding me back / they’re holding me back

The sickening is setting in / that I may not survive / if I don’t choose to make a change / this place will surely eat me alive

But how can I leave this place / when it’s all that I know / a tangled mess of hopes and dreams / that I’m fighting just to not let go

I lie awake at night and I’m not alight / no I’m not alright / and I can’t keep living a lie / cause I’m not alright / I’m not alright / I’ve got to get the hell out of here
