small town

[beanpoophead]

Closed my eyes
watched the world pass me by
small town eyes
small town hearts
shattered by all the dreams
we used to have
and im still sitting here
dreaming up my dreams
making believe
that im somewhere else

captured like the photographs
taken N-Y-E
when it all burnt down
before all our eyes
set ablaze by something in us
something inside
that made us believe
in something more
something that we couldn’t see
only when we make believe

everything i watched
everything we tried to be
so many lies
left unspoken, unbroken
because for most of it
we know it can never be
with our small town ways
where we all know
exactly everything that’s going on
in everyone, but ourselves

is this the way its suppose to be?
mixed up minds
get out or get pregnant
that’s the decision
that we’ve all been given
try and decided between love or lust
love for getting out
lust always for something more
and its always the same
with this small town face

I really loved this,,,, i have lived in this small town almost 2 yrs and it is amazing to me,,,, so many wanting to get out.

I have always lived in big cities,, enjoying the realm of the small town.

It's so interesting to note that the small town mentality is the same all over the world. Perfectly expressed.

small towns lives bring small town minds....
and it's hard to break the cycle
when you've been subjected to it
for so, so long.
And anyone who's been down that route,
know exactly what you were
trying to capture
when you wrote this.
You wrote this so, so well.

I can totally identify with this, I 'got out' and I think myself lucky!!
