Some nights are infinitely cold
Wasn’t born on the streets but this is my home.
We know these streets aren’t riddled with hope,
Can’t get sleep ‘cause I’m sitting on stone -
In this concrete jungle.
It’s 6 A.M. and I think that I’m drunk still,
High to the point where I can’t feel much
Pushed to the edge how can we feel loved?
I made 10 pounds this week
That’s Great.
I won’t beg, won’t plead
No way.
I want beds, want sleep
Not rain -
If I talk to myself then I might stay said.
The drugs just help to disguise my pain…
One more hit and the light won’t fade
So I take 3 hits,
I don’t take risks,
Streets aren’t safe so I’m under the bridge
And the rain cloud over my head’s so big.
I’ve got friends, but they’re all like me
If you don’t find friends, you will last 3 weeks
Now they’re asking me:
“What is life worth if we can’t find peace?”
And I’ve got no answers, we’re not looked after
We’ve got no voice, and we’ve had no chances
To learn what’s right,
But you’re all slaves too so really what’s life?
I’m a slave to the streets
You’re a slave to the mind
And i’s blinding, really quite frightening
Why stay alive when this is what life is?
I’ve got no roof and I’ve got no guidance
I get so scared when the streets go silent,
I hear screams and I hear police sirens
Can’t get sleep now I’m so, so tired.
I’m just so tired.

I have no home and I have no money
I don’t even know how I’m alive.
How did I survive?
I have no hope and I have no nothing
I don’t even know how I’m alive.
How did I survive?

I wear socks that are way too small
My coat won’t fit ‘cause I’m way too tall
And I’m painfully hungry,
Save your assumptions
I know my appearance is clearly difunctional
Clearly I make you despair and uncomfortable.
I’m human too but,
You’d be amazed at what humans do…
Because:
I’ve ben peed on, kicked in the face
Kids run past and they steal my change.
Do you have no shame?
I have no life and I feel like I have no place
In this world of abundance
My only escape is this substance,
I’m so afraid to confront it
I used to be aiming for something
I used to be great now I’m nothing.
I had a tough life, my Mum didn’t care
I don’t know Dad but let’s not go there.
Nah, there’s no hope here
No real smiles ‘cause they hold my tears
And I’m braving it through,
Maybe I’ll make it ‘till June -
Or maybe I’ll make an excuse
To live a bit longer.
My mind grows weak as the pain grows stronger
I roam these streets,
No-one knows me I go too deep
No-one knows me ‘cause no-one speaks
No wonder…
I haven’t brushed my teeth or washed my hair
In at least 3 weeks but how can I do that?
No running water, the rain doesn’t do much.
I’m not making the truth up
I’m stuck in a cycle that leads me to nothing delightful
I guess it’s all my fault.
I just watch as my sky caves in
If I take my life will I still grow wings
Will I still meet God
Can I still not win?
Can I still not win?…

I have no home and I have no money
I don’t even know how I’m alive.
How did I survive?
I have no hope and I have no nothing
I don’t even know how I’m alive.
How did I survive?
