I lost that state of mind
Learned to sing inside the Lord's house,
but stopped at the age of nine
I forget when I get awards now
The paving stones I played upon,
they kept me on the grind
that blessed me with the life
Friends and family filled with envy
when they should be filled with pride
And when the world's against me
is when I really come alive
And everyday that the Satan tempts me,
I try to take it in my stride
You know that I've got whisky with white lines
I think life has got to the point
I know without it's no fun
I need to get in the right mind
Instead, I look in the mirror
questioning what I've become
I guess it's a stereotypical day
Without a nine-to-five job or an uni degree
To be caught up in the trappings
Show me the locked doors,
I find another use for the key
I used to think that nothin could be better
than touring the world with my songs
I chased the pictured perfect life,
I think they painted it wrong
I think that money is the root of all evil
you fixed, they break as well
And ain't nobody wanna see you down
Because you're living your dream, man,
Please know that I'm not trying to preach
I beg you, don't be disappointed
Our conversations with my father on the A14
I've gotta chase those dreams
Now I'm playing for for the people, dad,
With my beat and small guitar
wearing the same old jeans
two-hundred-and-forty-thou
but I hope that Damien's proud
And to the next generation,
The world may be filled with hate
Another one to take the sting away
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day
And I'll find comfort in my pain
And I'll find comfort in my pain
And I'll find comfort in my pain
I guess you know I've been away
But where I'm heading, who knows
But my heart will stay the same
I guess you know I've been away
But where I'm heading, who knows
