Lyrics

No shelter no shame
No shadow no name
No wrong and no right
No end to this night
Topsiders don’t know
The dark currents below
When you fall through the cracks
There ain’t no going back

It’s a long way down
But I’ve reached the end
And now
I’m nobody’s friend

No trail no trace
No family no face
Regret menaces here
In these tunnels of fear
An old needle consoles
The torn shell of my soul
A few stitches and then
It pulls together again

I sleep
In the echoing darkness
I breathe
The cold stale air
I dream
With my eyes wide open
When I die
Won’t nobody care

It’s a long way down
But I’ve reached the end
And now
I’m nobody’s friend

(inspired by The Mole People by Jennifer Toth)
