Floating around the shores of a beach, whilst being all out to sea I’ve been drifting about, the days are becoming so long Nobody told me, it could so easily, happen to me It’s not that it’s bad, I’ve done nothing wrong It’s just time, as I knew it, seems to have skipped a beat A month became a year, like time decided not to catch up and meet Nowhere to sleep, little to eat, only new wayward floaters to greet Can you see me or do you choose not to? Acknowledge me, don’t look straight through me I’m a human with a heart, if it were you, I’d ask about you Like, how did you get here, how are you going, what’s your view On political matters, religious stuff, world concerns, that you see Put down ya phone, look into their eyes, talk to someone anew Can’t find a job, most boss’s don’t like me, that’s how it seems Can’t sing a tune or get the right pitch, just listen, that’s what it means Living by the seashore, breeze in my face, no windows, in diss free place Be careful who you trust, they’ll steal every dime, it’s a **** rat race Friendly folk, pass on by, throw you a penny, ‘cause ya down on your luck Some girls get down on their knees, handle da merchandise, then **** for a buck Now quite peckish, haven’t eaten for days, down on one knee, oh **** Can you see me or do you choose not to? Acknowledge me, don’t look straight through me I’m a human with a heart, if it were you, I’d ask about you How did you get here, how are you going, what’s your view On political matters, religious stuff, world concerns, that you see Put down ya phone, look into the eyes, talk to someone anew She’ll be right mate, but every next day, I’m still looking for a place to lay Under a bush, upon a park bench, those **** insects, are having a field day I’ve had enough, I got the courage, dialed the number, to get me out of here Up pulled a Combi Van, with a smile on her face, as she wiped away a tear Silence all the way home, just a nod or two, I'd gaze at her, the way ya do At night, laying in bed, thoughts rushing in my head, most are true In the morning, staring at a mirror, I finally saw the boy that my dear mom, once knew.

Drifting About
Floating around the shores of a beach, whilst being all out to sea I’ve been drifting about, the days are becoming so long Nobody told me, it could so easily, happen to me It’s not that it’s bad, I’ve done nothing wrong It’s just time, as I knew it, seems to have skipped a beat A month became a year, like time decided not to catch up and meet Nowhere to sleep, little to eat, only new wayward floaters to greet Can you see me or do you choose not to? Acknowledge me, don’t look straight through me I’m a human with a heart, if it were you, I’d ask about you Like, how did you get here, how are you going, what’s your view On political matters, religious stuff, world concerns, that you see Put down ya phone, look into their eyes, talk to someone anew Can’t find a job, most boss’s don’t like me, that’s how it seems Can’t sing a tune or get the right pitch, just listen, that’s what it means Living by the seashore, breeze in my face, no windows, in diss free place Be careful who you trust, they’ll steal every dime, it’s a **** rat race Friendly folk, pass on by, throw you a penny, ‘cause ya down on your luck Some girls get down on their knees, handle da merchandise, then **** for a buck Now quite peckish, haven’t eaten for days, down on one knee, oh **** Can you see me or do you choose not to?
