A Place To Lay Your Head

I must have been a burden the first hours of my life The way dad pushed me and mom aside Looking for a better life Most of my family Believes I’ll never be a star Since I was old enough to make a change I knew I’d make it far Cause not knowing who you are Keeps you wanting more Set fire to your heart Be your own light in the dark I’m never looking back again And I’m never settling again I built these walls To keep you out I’ll chase the sun into the ground But I’m never looking back again Progressing smoothly now Slowly defeating my self-doubt Removed the dead weight of Of the people who only Look out for themselves And now that I have grown Enough to feel it in my bones I think about the choices made And all the winding roads I’m sick of always being asked “If this fails what comes next?” Honestly, there’s nothing left This is all I have I’m never looking back again And I’m never settling again I built these walls To keep you out I’ll chase the sun into the ground But I’m never looking back again Undetermined, failure, burdened by the womb Forced into this world by someone on the move See the stars Chase the moon I can be anything But nothing like you The road is long I’m too far gone The burning sun is beating down Still I’m never looking back again I’m never looking back again And I’m never settling again I built these walls To keep you out I’ll chase the sun till it burns out And I’m never looking back again
