G E- A- F D7
Don't mind me, I'm just a name people forget
When I've forgotten my own name (can't recognize the sound of my own name)
Floating street to street with my name going unknown
All the times when I left home, left home
I sat there floating from street to street.
On useless stick I'd whittle the time away
Gambling with my whole inheritance
I lied to keep my life away
Take shelter in a home
Do anything just to be on a train going home
Build myself a home now going home
Rest in her arms going home
Do anything to leave home just leaving home
where I recount the times when I fell victim to my own lonliness
The other boys would shadow box in the likes of Cassius Clay
I'd wrestle them and those blows cuts to the core
howling at the moon, but not the fighter within
Even I tried to be like em
I got myself a job passing crates
head kept low not to be pestered by distant fairytales
Wrestled till face down
I remember every blow howled in rage
on path to malice
When tormented by thoughts I could not see.
Or the tempations that whisper my name.
I'll join the others casting my line for a bite just to return empty handed.
reflection wishing I'd see someone else instead
So I turn it off.
Face buried in the ground wondering, "Is this how my story ends?"
And the holes I've dug for myself where I had to crawl myself out
I have now traveled the distances just to realize
Ambition and the glory and the light at across the water
Holding only unhealed scars, I've earned a crown of thorns.
Eyes that carry the burden of the world, knows no rest.
