These Wastelands

THE LYRICS:
Some people are born here
They’re gonna die here too
I’ve heard so many versions
Of a revolution
That never come true
Give people five years
Their glory is goneI see a boy with no future
Walking in from my past
It’s never easy to see
Someone who mattered before
Give you no words
And then walk out the door
Well do you ever think of me
Anymore?Chorus:
These wastelands
I’m not gonna die hereI’m in a room full of motion
Filled with a lot of standstill
People who’ve spoken five years of plans
That they never fulfill
You know there’s more to being angry
Than spit on the groundSome people have ignorance
And they point it at me
The most they can give me is
“You’re okay
Keep your hands to yourself
Don’t look at me that way”
Well your mind made you ugly
Have no fearRepeat Chorus
Feels so good to know
I'm not gonna die here.
