Homebound Lyrics by Sleave

Don’t Expect Anything

2019

[Verse 1]
On being comatose
Don’t worry just yet
You’ll feel it in your toes
But not what comes next
This mantra is typical
For all the boys back at home
It isn’t cynical
But passed on their own

[Pre-Chorus]
She wasn’t sick with it
She had a power to her name
She dropped out with a kid and wondered how things got this way
And all this weight she bears
Pulling the corners of her back
Somehow it all just seems so sad

[Chorus]
They’re all here
I’m out there
They’ve been stuck all these years
So tell me
Why do I get so down
When I visit my hometown
They’re all here
I’m out there
I’ll move west in a year
So tell me
Why do I get so down
When I visit my hometown
They’re homebound
They’re homebound

[Verse 2]
In school, they had their fun
White garland necks
But with the system won
A blue-collar death

[Pre-Chorus]
He kept his cool with it
Sustained the scarlet on his neck
His hands were calloused with the labor and the ten years spent
And all this weight he bears
Affixed a fixture on his chest
He kicks and screams in hopes these final words may still not be his last

[Hook]
I’m sick
Of trying
These dreams
Keep dying off
My youth
Is lost
Count up
The cost
How can I make it stop

[Chorus]
They’re all here I’m out there
They’ve been stuck all these years
So tell me
Why do I get so down
When I visit my hometown
They’re all here
I’m out there
I’ll move west in a year
So tell me
Why do I get so down
When I visit my hometown
They’re all here
I’m out there
They’ve been stuck
All these years
So tell me
Why do I get so down
When I visit my hometown
They’re all here
I’m out there
I’ll move west
In a year
So tell me
Why do I get so down
When I visit my hometown
They’re homebound
They’re homebound
