How does it feel when someone strips you bare?
How does it feel when there's
Light shining on your every intention
'Cause people laugh at you
For trying to change the world
It's just

Small town
Small dreams
The same old faces
Still they haunt me
And I'm just trying to find a way to shut them out
I'm just trying to find a way to block them out

I'm tired of them looking down
Tired of them looking down
How does it feel when someone lets you down?
You got a head full of thorns
When you should really be wearing a crown
Well, at least a crowded room will never seem empty
With a conscience always siding against me

Small town
Lay to rest
Don't hurt me with your
Killer lines and cigarettes
I want more than just your
Teenage thrills and brainless sex
Tell me just how good it feels
To be rebellious
'Cause you got me feeling down
Said it's got me feelin down

How does it feel when someone lets you down?
A head full of thorns, you should be wearing a crown
And how does it feel when someone strips you bare?
And people laugh at you
People laugh at you
How do you feel about these memories?
My conscience is close
She's my worst enemy
And she wants to know where I've gone
She wants to know where I'm going

Small town lay to rest
Small town lay to rest
Small town
Small dreams
The same old faces
Still they haunt me
I'm just trying to find a way to block them out
'Cause I'm tired of them looking down
