There's no cure, nothing pure
Nothing to take hold
No good fight for what's right
It leaves you empty and cold
I gave up trying to prove my point
Gave up on the savior machine
On the outside looking inside
And we don't want to come in

You can't hold me back
And you can't hold me down
Drop the curtain on this one horse town
And I'll be gone, gone, gone

Break the mold, it's gettin gold
Be what you want to be
Don't qualify, don't justify
Original sin sets you free
gave up trying to apologize
For everything that's me, that's mine
We'll leave this place without a trace
No one could understand

You're the only star in my empty sky
The ringing in my ears lets me know
That we are alive

You can't turn me back
And you can't turn me down
Dim the lights in this one horse town
And I'll be gone, gone, gone
