lyrics
its been a weird night, unique to say the least
backpack and a notebook roaming the streets
no clue where i'm heading, just creeping in the dark
making friends with the shadows, searching for a spot
the spot where I will make my peace
on a cardboard bed to soften the concrete
no plans to sleep, I couldn’t if I tried
just staring at the stars until I see the sun rise
yeah, its new day, same day, turn another page
no shower, same clothes, been wearing them for days
not a care in the world. Not anymore
fuck everything that I thought I once stood for
so far from home - I'm so far from home
i'm so far from where I want to call my home
Id rather sleep here on these streets
its not the life I want but its one I believe in
I swallow vomit like a champion – never let it out
keep the sickness in my stomach till I pass out
not a drop out but barely a graduate
just a man in the middle living off change in my pockets
Im on the road less traveled going nowhere
three dollars in my wallet but I don’t care
some sell their souls for freedom, some for gold
and some for fortune but I sold mine for rock and roll
so far from home - I'm so far from home
i'm so far from where I want to call my home
Id rather sleep here on these streets
its not the life I want but its one I believe in
so far from home - I'm so far from home
i'm so far from where I want to call my home
Id rather die here on these streets
than in the arms of that devil named defeat
I feel empty, oh so worthless
like these bones are too old to serve a real purpose
I feel damaged. Oh so fractured
chasing a dream that these hands have yet captured
clenched fists. Open wounds.
Broken hearts. black and blue
clenched fists. Open wounds.
Broken hearts. black and blue.
