lyrics

Streets familiar like an old friend, but not so kindly or fond.
They stir up many a memory, some of joy, some best forgotten.

Baby birds can’t find their way back home
A blustery wind it blocks their path
As the waves crash upon the rocks my sea salt tears are the aftermath

And as I walk this desolation row
Unfriendly faces pass me by
Alone and happy in my mind
A passing Stranger now am I

Now onwards, toward the light
Thinking about the words I never got to write down
Such a sad life and no one around here likes a frown

All those things I never got to say
The people and the places
The ones that got away from me
But I’m a lucky boy, it seems.

Tried to break me but I fought back
Tried to, sedate me with your gloom attack
Oh, but for these thoughts in my head
The fussing and the fighting, the things that were said ..
Maybe all that shit was just a state of mind
Manufactured by conditions that you supplied, So readily, oh whoa is me
