lyrics

Grimtown words and music by Dean Bonzani copyright 2010

You were so happy then
You had great plans
But none of them worked out
Find out who your real friends are when things go sour
And suddenly, no one's around
Floodwaters rising better get yourself on up to higher ground
Beating back the frigid waves of panic as you slowly drown

Got to get out of grim
Got to get out of grim right now
Got to get out of grim
Got to get out of grimtown... before it drags you down

You've memorized every stain on the ceiling
Every crack in the floor
Every conversation sounds the same
And every place feels like you've been there before
Tell them you're going to buy a pack of smokes
Then just walk out the door
Find a place that doesn't rub your mistakes in your face
Won't have to explain yourself any more

Got to get out of grim
Got to get out of grim right now
Got to get out of grim
Got to get out of grimtown... before it drags you down

Sailing past the silent vacant streets that somehow seem
Less... empty now... than when they're full of people
And if you had wings to fly, the morning mist would lift you up
Into the amber and the crimson of a sky that's all horizon and you're

Going to get out of grim
Going to get out of grim right now
Going to get out of grim
Going to get out of grimtown
Going to get out of grim
Going to get out of grim right now
Going to get out of grim
Going to get out of grimtown... before it drags you down
