lyrics

the sound, the sound
the deafening sound of everything
crashing around me

pull the alarms
just like that time that girl threw a Molotov into the ceiling
and we all got the break we needed

a local hero at just 15

all i ever dreamed of growing up was retirement
the chance for me to finally relax
and pick up all of the pieces i dropped as a kid

sometimes it feels like every day i lay broken
at some point, in the bed that i've made
sometimes it feels like no matter who or what i am

i'll never be enough to make enough to
get myself out of this
to be worthy of commitment

from myself, or from anything else
i'm just going and going too quick
i just keep myself going so i can finally quit
i just keep myself going so i can prove to myself i'm worth something

so i can prove that i don't accommodations
for anything, i can handle this better anything
trust me

going and going insane, circling
some kind of working class pain
im going and going insane
some kind of working class pain

the sound, the sound
the deafening sound
just like when they threw us on lockdown

finally, the break we all needed
for minutes or an hour, we'll savour what this crisis gives us:
a pause for now; gives us a chance to come down

a local hero
burn it all down
a local hero
burn it all down
a local hero
burn it all down
the things that encase us
burn it all down
and sound the alarms
the break we needed
sound the alarms
