small town,
I lost that state of mind
Learned to sing inside the Lord's house,
but stopped at the age of nine
I forget when I get awards now
the wave I had to ride
The paving stones I played upon,
they kept me on the grind
So blame it on the pain
that blessed me with the life
Friends and family filled with envy
when they should be filled with pride
And when the world's against me
is when I really come alive
And everyday that the Satan tempts me,
I try to take it in my stride
You know that I've got whisky with white lines
and smoke in my lungs
I think life has got to the point
I know without it's no fun
I need to get in the right mind
and clear myself up
Instead, I look in the mirror
questioning what I've become
I guess it's a stereotypical day
for someone like me
Without a nine-to-five job or an uni degree
To be caught up in the trappings
of the industry
Show me the locked doors,
I find another use for the key
I used to think that nothin could be better
than touring the world with my songs
I chased the pictured perfect life,
I think they painted it wrong
I think that money is the root of all evil
and fame is hell
Relationships and hearts
you fixed, they break as well
And ain't nobody wanna see you down
in the dumps
Because you're living your dream, man,
this shit should be fun
Please know that I'm not trying to preach
like I'm Reverend Run
I beg you, don't be disappointed
with the man I've become
Our conversations with my father on the A14
Age twelve telling me
I've gotta chase those dreams
Now I'm playing for for the people, dad,
and they know me
With my beat and small guitar
wearing the same old jeans
Wembley Stadium crowd's
two-hundred-and-forty-thou
I may have grown up
but I hope that Damien's proud
And to the next generation,
inspiration's allowed
The world may be filled with hate
but keep erasing it now
higher
Another one to take the sting away
I am happy on my own,
so here I'll stay
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day
And I'll find comfort in my pain
Eraser
And I'll find comfort in my pain
Eraser
And I'll find comfort in my pain
Eraser
Welcome to the new show
I guess you know I've been away
But where I'm heading, who knows
But my heart will stay the same
Welcome to the new show
I guess you know I've been away
But where I'm heading, who knows
