I’m always breathing but I don’t always feel alive My soul was leaving, and as it did I said goodbye Rolled a spliff and asked myself if I was sad You could lose all the things in life you hold so dear Who would you call to feel their presence oh so near Whose embrace just familiar face of dad But I’ve got no father I’ve got no mother I’ve got no sister And I’ve got no brother And I just feel so alone In this world I’m always breathing but I don’t always feel alive My soul was leaving, and as it did I said goodbye Poured a drink cuz I don’t have to think when numb You could lose all the things in life you hold so dear Who would you call to feel their presence oh so near Whose embrace just familiar face of mum But I’ve got no father I’ve got no mother I’ve got no sister And I’ve got no brother And I just feel so alone In this world

Used to hate my rents for bringing me into their world with so many problems Till I realised they had me cuz they thought that I would solve em Almost lived without a roof, you think the streets are cold? Well some of us are used to it, no there wasn’t heating at home When I was younger I felt like I was losing my mind Gave me a stronger reason to start using my mind Now I no longer feel like I’m just cruising through time I’ve got the hunger, no one can ever take what’s mine Said don’t fight us now cuz you might need us later but you taught me better than to ever trust a traitor Made me think that you were perfect for too long Now when I look at you all I see are the things you did wrong Family keep telling me come home, cuz I’m their true son Told them that now I’m grown that I’ve found myself a new one You say that you miss the days when you would hold me And didn’t really trust the people that I called homies But since I left home, and now that I’m grown I feel like no one’s realised that they don’t really know me We ran to different countries to find a better life But those countries and their companies use their money like a knife It all felt like a game, but you had to play it right Felt like the only aim was to last another night When I would speak my mind it led to another fight Then it felt like all that mattered was who’s wrong and who’s right yeah Now you see that I’ve moved on and I’m no longer right here Our worldviews are so far apart, and man I’m talking lightyears You say that you miss the days when you would hold me And didn’t really trust the people I called homies But since I left home, and now that I’m grown I feel like no one’s realised that they don’t really know me You say that you miss the days when you would hold me And didn’t really trust the people I called homies But since I left home, and now that I’m grown I feel like no one’s realised that they don’t really know me Or maybe I’m just cursed to be someone who’s always lonely

they call me a star but I’ve spent so many nights looking up at the sky trying to find myself didn’t know how far these poems I would write would carry me or how high my songs would go by themselves I know I’ve come a long way from the days when I would say I wanna be alone with my guitar all day when times were hard I had to swallow my pride since then my life has just been D.I.Y I was tough enough to last but so were times in the past had to cut grass faster than the rest in class i needed a torch to leave the front porch from the day I was born I’ve always been a schemer finally left home only when I was all alone did I realise that the grass was never greener who knows how high these songs have been lifting me up who knows how high when I was solo I was so low all I wanna do is express myself but words keep getting in my way not so long ago you would find me on a roll working fingers to the bone now I’m playing these stages hearing jay it’s been ages since you worked 80 hours a week just for your wages guess it’s good that you stuck with your music you got talent, life’s a pageant, may as well use it you never know how much these melodies will ring and you’ll be glad the day you can say that you still sing who knows how high these songs have been lifting me up who knows how high when I was solo I was so low
