David Burns - Cinderland

Where I'm from buildings still cry
About the day industry died
Labor makes a rust belt man
So I found work using my hands
I walked into the hardware store
Same woman, always worked the floor
Didn't even know she knew my name
Till the day she frowned at me and said
"You're selling yourself short
I thought you would do more
This town has nothing going on
You should get the hell out of Dodge"
I am from Cinderland
Home of the calloused hands
Forged by my memories
I fled like a refugee
On the day the scandal came out
It split in half our sleeping town
Neighbors and brothers put at odds
While crooked men escaped the law
I buried lies to hide the wreck
I carried guilt around my neck
Heavy was the burden that I bore
Like the concrete that my father poured
This place stopped being home
The clouds said there's no hope
The people proved them right
I knew I had to leave that night
I am from Cinderland
Home of the calloused hands
Forged by my memories
I fled like a refugee
Fire has made me strong
Burns tell me I belong
It's tragedy in a song
But it made me who I am
I'm from Cinderland
There's a place in me, that will never leave
I moved away, but it still stays, some flawed part of me
There's a place in me, that will never leave
I moved away, but it still stays, some flawed part of me
There's a place in me, that will never leave
I moved away, but it still stays, some flawed part of me
I am from Cinderland
Home of the calloused hands
Forged by my memories
I fled like a refugee
Fire has made me strong
Burns tell me I belong
It's tragedy in a song
But it made me who I am
I was forged by the cinders
And raised by the sinners
I'm from the Cinderland
