That's me right there on the corner
Listening to Wu in my Walkman
Neon lights hit the water
Reflecting the city I'm lost in
That's me right there on the corner
I one day would be leaving
For a dream that I didn't have
That I'd one day would believe in
Strange how the same place I ran from's
The same place I think of whenever the chance comes
It's inevitable cause wherever I go

I hear echoes of a thousand screams
As I lay me down to sleep
There's a black hole deep inside of me
Reminding me
That I lost my backbone
Somewhere in Stockholm
I lost my backbone
Somewhere in Stockholm

I'm from a place where we never
Openly show our emotions
We drown our sorrows in bottomless bottles
And leave them to float in the ocean
I'm from a place where we never
Seperate people from people
Some generalize
But in general I still believe that we are treated as equals
My father, my mother, my sister, my brother
My friends and my family's there
My hope, and my money, my innocence in a sense
Almost lost everything here

Right where I was founded
Is right where I'll be found dead
These streets are my backbone
Until I get back home

I hear echoes of a thousand screams
As I lay me down to sleep
There's a black hole deep inside of me
Reminding me
That I lost my backbone
Somewhere in Stockholm
I lost my backbone
Somewhere in Stockholm

I'm not alone, I am the fire that burns
Not in the city, but out in the burbs
A river that's dying of thirst
I am a reverend lying in church

A crack in the pattern
A miracle waiting to happen
A promise that never was kept
One of those moments you'll never forget

I am that feeling inside
That one we all know but can't really describe
I am the blood spill, but I'm in love still

But I'm not alone (Somewhere in Stockholm)
Don't have to get by on my own
I'm finally home
Hemma i Stockholm
(Där jag hör hemma)

I hear echoes of a thousand screams
As I lay me down to sleep
There's a black hole deep inside of me
Reminding me
That I lost my backbone
Somewhere in Stockholm
I lost my backbone
Somewhere in Stockholm
