around the corner

Post by torndown »

my heart hangs from the coattails of the lost
my soul is carried in the satchels of the forgotten
my mind stays in the alleys with the rejected


a little place around the corner is all I need
and I’ll never have to struggle, fight or bleed
I’ll never have to hear about man’s misdeeds
a little place around the corner, and I’ll be free

everyday I fight to keep my place in the sun
pushed into the shadows by the “chosen ones”
someday, I think, we’re all gonna have some
until then I’ll keep my head from going numb

hope is just around the corner, friend it’s true
don’t forget or the shit will start to make do
your vision of the future will fade from view
your mind will mush and you’ll be screwed

from my spot on the curb all I hear is threats
those slinging them are dying for respect
so they glare at everyone and beat their chests
but when I look I just see kids and their beds are wet


I hold my heart in my hands when I feel lost
I hide my soul from the world when I feel forgotten
I lose my mind every time I feel rejected

I could escape
from this race
if I had a little place
around the corner
. . . and miles to go

before i sleep
