Drifter

(album: Fashionably Late - 2013)

As I'm thrown into an empty room or should I say a box
I try to turn around to leave but the door it slams and locks
So I sit here and I think about all the evil things I've done
I lost where I was going cause I forgot where I came from

I surrender put my weapons down
I can't remember what I'm doing in this town
It's time for me to pack my bags I'll always be alone
The only thing I've ever known is out there on the road
I'm a drifter
I'm a drifter

Now every time I look straight into my fathers eyes
I see how hurt and broken down he is from all the times
He had to watch the son he raised follow in his steps
The only option that he ever had was too hope for the best

I surrender put my weapons down
I can't remember what I'm doing in this town
It's time for me to pack my bags I'll always be alone
The only thing I've ever known is out there on the road

My faith is weak my soul is bound this lonely road I travel down
I scrape my feet this jagged ground the cuts run deep into me now
Mother oh why aren't you here so young I was, you disappeared
I know the truth is ugly did you truly ever love me?

I surrender, curse my mothers soul
I still miss her no matter where I go
It's time for me to pack my bags I will always be alone
The only thing I've ever known is a broken home
