Drifter - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

As I'm thrown into an empty room, or should I say a box?

I try to turn around to leave, but the door is slammed and locks

So I sing here and I think about all the evil things I've done

I lost where I was going 'cause I forgot where I came from

I surrender, put my weapons down

I can't remember what I'm doing in this town

It's time for me to pack my bags, I will always be alone

The only thing I've ever known is out there on the road

I'm a drifter

Now every time I look straight into my father's eyes

I see how hurt and broken down he is from all the times

He had to watch the son he raised follow in his steps

The only option that he ever had was to hope for the best

I surrender, put my weapons down

I can't remember what I'm doing in this town

It's time for me to pack my bags, I will always be alone

The only thing I've ever known is out there on the road

My faith is weak, my soul is bound

This lonely road I travel down

I scrape my feet, this jagged ground

The cuts run deep into me now

Mother, oh, why aren't you here?

So young I was, you disappeared

I know the truth is ugly

Did you truly ever love me?

I surrender, curse my mother's soul

I still miss her, no matter where I go

It's time for me to pack my bags, I will always be alone

The only thing I've ever known is a broken home
