The wind keeps beating on my window
I haven't slept all night
That drum just keeps on bangin'
They must be buzzin' out their minds
Like bees in a hive, tell me when the morning arrives

This place is just not for me
I say it all the time
My friends they just ignore me tell me never mind
Waiting all your life on a slumville sunrise

Slumville sunrise
Nobody cares or looks twice
Shine away in the morning across this place I was born in
Every bruise every flower illuminated by the dawnin'

My face upon the concrete
The dirt is in my mouth
I clench my fists and feet
I'm trying to cry out loud
Make a sound, but something is keeping me down

This place is just not for me
I say it a thousand times
My friends they just ignore me tell me never mind
Waiting all your life on a slumville sunrise

Slumville sunrise
Nobody cares or looks twice
Shine away in the morning across this place I was born in
Every bruise every flower illuminated by the dawnin'

This place is just not for me
I say it all the time
My friends they just ignore me tell me never mind
Waiting all your life on a slumville sunrise

Slumville sunrise
Nobody cares or looks twice
Shine away in the morning across this place I was born in
Every bruise every flower illuminated by the dawnin'
