That's me right there on the corner Listening to WU in my walkman Neon lights hit the water Reflecting the city I'm lost in That's me right there on the corner I one day would be leaving For a dream that I didn't have That I'd one day would believe in Strange how the same place I ran from's The same place I think of whenever the chance comes It's inevitable cause wherever I go I hear echoes of a thousand screams As I lay me down to sleep There's a black hole deep inside of me Reminding me That I lost my backbone back home Somewhere in Stockholm I lost my backbone Somewhere in Stockholm I'm from a place where we never Openly show our emotions We drown our sorrows in bottomless bottles And leave them to float in the ocean I'm from a place where we never Separate people from people Some generalize but in general I Still believe that we are treated as equals My father my mother my sister my brother My friends and my family's there My hope and my money my innocence In a sense almost lost everything here Right where I was founded Is right where I'll be found dead These streets are my backbone Until I get back home I hear echoes of a thousand screams As I lay me down to sleep There's a black hole deep inside of me Reminding me That I lost my backbone back home Somewhere in Stockholm I lost my backbone Somewhere in Stockholm I'm not alone I am the fire that burns Not in the city but out in the burbs A river that's dying of thirst I am a reverend lying in church A crack in the pattern A miracle waiting to happen A promise that never was kept One of those moments you'll never forget I am that feeling inside The one we all know but can't really describe I am the blood spill But I'm in love still Somewhere in Stockholm But I'm not alone Don't have to get by on my own I'm finally home I hear echoes of a thousand screams As I lay me down to sleep There's a black hole deep inside of me Reminding me That I lost my backbone back home Somewhere in Stockholm I lost my backbone Somewhere in Stockholm
