Orphan Child

[00:17.39] Long away, far ago
[00:20.50] I had what I thought was the best
[00:25.14] I watched it slip fall and fade
[00:28.60] I watched perfection become transgressed
[00:32.77] I ripped up my roots, I changed my name
[00:36.96] I lived between polluted shores
[00:40.97] Strained my ears to hear the wind
[00:44.87] Tell me, why was I born?
[00:48.73] I am an orphan honey
[00:50.50] I am a no-name Nomad
[00:52.93] Living in this great unknown
[00:58.40] This place is good as any
[01:00.32] And I've been to so many
[01:02.73] I am an orphan child
[01:05.75] Yes, I'm an orphan but I'm better on my own
[01:14.52]
[01:18.74] Why this race, this blood, this face
[01:22.51] These hands, these eyes and these miles?
[01:26.46] Between the graves and city plagues
[01:30.38] To seek the ease of empty smiles
[01:34.56] Friendships fought for then betrayed
[01:37.99] Buy a kiss in the solemn night
[01:42.37] And money that was gone before it was made
[01:45.95] And hunger that lost its appetite
[01:50.28] I'm an orphan honey
[01:52.14] I am a transient soul
[01:53.82] My family tree's on fire
[01:59.92] And I don't belong here
[02:02.08] Or any place near
[02:03.87] I am on orphan child
[02:07.04] Well, I am an orphan
[02:09.46] With a heart of barbed wire
[02:15.40]
[02:37.75] I used to walk these streets amazed
[02:41.74] Head ablaze in every town
[02:45.40] I used to study every new face
[02:48.66] Now I keep my keys to the ground
[02:53.31] Why this language? And why these dreams?
[02:56.97] And what I might say, what I create?
[03:00.93] And why this mind full of twisted vines?
[03:04.78] Lifelines and fates I can't escape
[03:08.81] I am an orphan honey
[03:10.44] I am a passing stranger
[03:12.82] I don't have that much to say
[03:18.71] There's part of me you'll never see
[03:22.56] I am an orphan child, yes, I am an orphan
[03:28.76] Won't still far away
[03:40.47]
