Thomas James McGowan Jr
I woke up like I have my own name now
His shadow's weight
The shit just ain't the same now
My claim to fame
Is no longer chasing all these rain clouds
And it's fucking insane how
The sky paints brighter days now
The pain's still in my heart
And I can't let it go
The me I've come to lose
I now choose to know
Bruised from truth
Glued to my roots
Uproot the clues
To fuse the proof
Of surviving youth
With the blues
Of who I've become
A seed seeking peace
More than just his father's son
Far from the cradle
Able to make my own label
No vacant seats
Fuck it, I'll build my own table
Hunger to feed
On fables I re-read
From times I couldn't breathe
Beneath these rocky seas
Clenched teeth
Meet freedom
In words I finally speak
Ones I refused to see
One life I have to lead
Retreat's no way to dreams
Belief in inner me
I see, I was never you
And you were never me
Wrongs we'll never right
Lives we can't relive
Regrets with no rewind
It's time that I forgive
Grew up broke
Broke up bread
Soaked in dollar store stew
We got fed
I said
Grew up broke
Broke up bread
Soaked in dollar store stew
We got fed
Better yet
Shit, I'm better than I ever been
Could say some pain
Became the best medicine
No longer screaming let us in
I've settled sins
Which were once unsettling
My heart's been pedaling
Back through this years
Choked on tears
And stoked with fear
No hope grew near
Now my vision is clear
I need to turn this fucking poison
To creative ascension
Close to fully mended
From grief's deception
I need to steer my life
In its own direction
Time I start to see me
In my own reflection
I'll always keep your ghost
Close to my chest
So your love can haunt the holes
I've learned to accept
Grew up broke
Broke up bread
Soaked in dollar store stew
We got fed
I said
Grew up broke
Broke up bread
Soaked in dollar store stew
We got fed
