Broken Fires - Trouble Lyrics

I was born in a corner
A dead suburb of my father's land
There was something in the water
And it made me who I am

Then I left for the border
To the crossing point, the devils bridge
And it messed with my conscience
When I was just a kid
When I was just a kid

It was all entertainment
Smoking cigarettes until I choked
Conversations with artists
They were mindless, numb and broke

I was trash in an ocean
Tiny fragments underneath a wave
I went looking for trouble
And I think I lost my way
Yeah, I think I lost my way

Now I long for that corner
A dead suburb of my father's land
There was something in the water
And it made me who I am

Maybe I should have stayed?
Maybe I should have stayed?
I don't think I can change
Until they bring me home
Until they bring me home

I want trouble
All the time
I can't give my head a rest
I'm just trying
To survive
In this complicated mess

Nothing you can do now to change it all (I want trouble)
I made mistakes my love and I lost it all (All the time)
As you lay my body down to rest (I can't give my head a rest)
Remember us when we were kids

Clean me up just before I go (I'm just trying)
Sing those hymns that we used to know (To survive)
And as you write those tales of who I was (In this complicated mess)
Think of me when I was home

Nothing you can do now to change it all (I want trouble)
I made mistakes my love and I lost it all (All the time)
As you lay my body down to rest (I can't give my head a rest)
Remember us when we were kids

Clean me up just before I go (I'm just trying)
Sing those hymns that we used to know (To survive)
And as you write those tales of who I was (In this complicated mess)
Think of me when I was home

Nothing you can do now to change it all (I want trouble)
I made mistakes my love and I lost it all (All the time)
As you lay my body down to rest (I can't give my head a rest)
Remember us when we were kids

Clean me up just before I go (I'm just trying)
Sing those hymns that we used to know (To survive)
And as you write those tales of who I was (In this complicated mess)
Think of me when I was home
