This Small Town

maybe I should work
maybe I should live
maybe I should go out and see the world for what it is

I wish it was that simple
I wish I could leave
but I wonder what's really out there for me

I think
I'm stuck
in a rut
and this small town

I woke up this afternoon
realized I hate this place
then I laid back down, put the pillow over my face

always doing nothing
thought something's not my style
but now I want to do something worthwhile

I think
I'm stuck
in the muck
in this small town

I don't mind the gray areas in my life
it sure beats this town's black and white

I need a way out
I need a change of pace
there must be something I can do to get out of this place

no victory to celebrate
only mourning my lost self
It feels like I'm a can of soup forgotten on the shelf

I feel
I'm trapped
like a rat
in this small town
