Nature runs its course again
Depression rears its ugly head
I’m going back to where I started from
My tears are dry my heart is spent
I used it all to make the rent
Bent over backwards until I came undone
Tried my best to outshine the sun
Out of work and out of touch
Memories turn to rust
All I knew was left out in the rain
Death card pulled from the pack
A change is come I can’t turn back
Cross the border use a different name
Don’t belong in this picture frame
Nothing quite like rejection
To light a fire where you’re standing
The last fair deal has gone down
It’s check out time best I leave this town
In the sobering of the sunlight
And the restless hours of the night
Time will find me hanging by a thread
Stumbling through the years I go
Rolling with it blow by blow
Distracted by the briars in my bed
Can’t still the thunder from crackling in my head
Morning came and morning went
The sky grew dark and I grew tense
Like a beast at last unchained
Unsure which path he should take
