The winds began to shift
He fell into the storm
His mind began to drift
An unfamiliar form
And now he’s an insider
To his own winds as they swarm
The only rider
He couldn’t remember his own name, let alone dream
Seemed he never learned from his mistakes so they repeat
He would always rather spend some money than to lose sleep
So he’s in Lorain on a late night creep
Sick with this disease cost him mostly
Six broken windows and a nose bleed, cold feet
Is something you just get when you step into that concrete jungle
Struggle up on humble road, it’s a long street
Got me stuck here in the basement doing laundry
Instead of smoking weed under a palm tree
God please, I’m just a bad day from selling all my belongings
And walking through the streets like a zombie, honestly
The winds began to shift
He fell into the storm
His mind began to drift
An unfamiliar form
And now he’s an insider
To his own winds as they swarm
The only rider
He thought he had nowhere else to turn so he turned cheap
No one ever showed him no concern they assumed he
Always had it well under control like a turnkey
But up in his head it was anarchy
Live with this misery since he was fifteen
Another broken spirit with a big dream, kids seem
To never understand that everyone must come clean
Wish I could erase all the mistakes and things I’ve done seen
Hungry for my piece of the pie in this country
Where nobody seems to care unless it comes free
Something is in the water it’s not hard to put it bluntly
That everyone around me’s turning ugly
Sometimes it’s hard
But I ignore it all
Sometimes it’s hard
With your back against the wall
Sometimes it’s so hard
But I ignore it all, ignore it all
The winds began to shift
He fell into the storm
His mind began to drift
An unfamiliar form
And now he’s an insider
To his own winds as they swarm
The only rider
