A Place to Lay Your Head - Broadside

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
