Head North Brooklyn's Burning
(One, two, three, four)
[Verse 1]
I remember being young when I would pass out on the floor
In Blackstone where the ground was hard
But my bed was far too warm
My restless bones, they scared you
You said next year I'll feel home
But you never could bring yourself to ever leave Buffalo
And maybe it's my curse, but the alternative is worse
Instead of staying stuck forever, I will forever search
[Pre-Chorus]
I wouldn't change the way that I was raised
But maybe it's my turn to go
[Chorus]
Brooklyn's burning a hole in my soul
Brooklyn's calling me all the way home
Brooklyn's burning a hole in my soul
Brooklyn's calling me all the way home
[Verse 2]
Maybe it'll fix me 'fore I fall apart
Maybe I'll find my peace of heart
That went missing 'fore I knew that it was there
But I still hear the shouts; they're still ringing, oh, so loud
In my brain, from the night you took me away
[Pre-Chorus]
I wouldn't change the way that I was raised
But maybe this year's not worth the fight
[Chorus]
Brooklyn's burning a hole in my soul
Brooklyn's calling me all the way home
Brooklyn's burning a hole in my soul
Brooklyn's calling me all the way home
[Outro]
I've never felt quite right in my own skin
Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
I've never felt quite right in my own skin
Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
