[Verse 1]
The anniversaries are short lived
But they come back around at a breakneck speed
My world spins so fast
The centrifugal force keeps me stuck in the middle

[Chorus]
We close our eyes, learn our pain
Nobody ever could explain
All the dead boys in our hometown
We close our eyes, learn our pain
Nobody ever could explain
All the dead boys in our hometown
All the dead boys in our hometown

[Verse 2]
We all tussle with the black dog
Some out loud and some in silence
Everybody 'round here just drinks
'Cause that's our culture

[Chorus]
We close our eyes, learn our pain
Nobody ever could explain
All the dead boys in our hometown
We close our eyes, learn our pain
Nobody ever could explain
All the dead boys in our hometown
All the dead boys in our hometown
[Interlude]

[Chorus]
We close our eyes, learn our pain
Nobody ever could explain
All the dead boys in our hometown
We close our eyes, learn our pain
Nobody ever could explain
All the dead boys in our hometown

[Outro]
All the dead boys in our home town
All the dead boys in our home town
All the dead boys in our home town
All the dead boys in our home town
All the dead boys in our home town
All the dead boys in our home town
All the dead boys in our home town
All the dead boys in our home town
