[Intro]
I hate this town
I hate this town (hey!)
Back to the shore
I’m burning it down
[Verse 1]
Feet in the sand
Still taste the dirt from home
Same old names
Tattooed on my throat
Every cheap shot
Every laugh you stole
Yeah you cut deep
But I still won’t fold
[Chorus]
I hate this town
So I ran to the edge of the world
Sunset over a sea of blood
Crashing hard on the boy you hurt
If you ever come around
I’ll drag your ghosts through the mud
You tried to break me down
Now I’ll fuck you up (fuck you up!)
Now I’ll fuck you up
[Verse 2]
Bare feet
Cold beer
Wind kicks salt in my eyes
You’re just smoke
Blowing back to the sky
They said “grow up”
You said I’d never leave
Well look who’s lost
While I learn to breathe
[Chorus]
I hate this town
So I ran to the edge of the world
Sunset over a sea of blood
Crashing hard on the boy you hurt
If you ever come around
I’ll drag your ghosts through the mud
You tried to break me down
Now I’ll fuck you up (fuck you up!)
Now I’ll fuck you up
[Bridge]
[Male chants
Call-and-response]
You can’t kill what’s already dead
(Already dead! Already dead!)
Every word you carved in my head
(In my head! In my head!)
I’m still here
I’m still standing
(On this shore! On this shore!)
Watch me walk right past your damage
Want some more? (want some more?)
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar solo over halftime drums
Then double-time build]
[Chorus]
I hate this town
So I ran to the edge of the world
Sunset over a sea of blood
Crashing hard on the boy you hurt
If you ever come around
I’ll drag your ghosts through the mud
You tried to break me down
Now I’ll fuck you up (fuck you up!)
Now I’ll fuck you up
[Outro]
Feet in the sand
Fire in my lungs
I hate this town
But I’m the one who’s gone
