of the beautiful people

she asked when

are you gonna stop

just grinding along?

thought she knew me

guess like her

i was wrong

this is all i’ve ever known

fighting inch by inch

for something

never gets given

got no silver spoon

but if you hang on long enough

we can look back

see the tracks

where i’ve been

just a humble man

making his way

over rocky ground

but she was gone

for easier times

one more leaver

leaving nothing behind
