The Homeless Song by Chester P Lyrics
(Intro)
I’m from a corner where these shadows want to murder ya
With hyperdermics to tackle the hypothermia
I’m trying to make it through the winter where the season’s bad
And police officers came and they took my sleeping bag
(Chorus)
If every king deserves a castle then the truth is
My kingdom is out of reach because this world has left me roofless
(Verse 1)
I’m losing dignity every time I choose to eat
And now there’s metal spikes where I used to sleep
I used to play guitar and busk in the spotlight
Until I lost a couple fingers to the frostbite
And overall it’s like I’m barely even visible
This mental struggle took its toll upon my physical
I sit and watch the street devoured by its owns traps
And people wonder why the hell I wanna smoke cracks
(Chorus)
Every king deserves a kingdom then the truth is
My kingdom is out of reach because this world has left me roofless
(Verse 2)
They keep on telling us there is no second night out
But I’ve been sleeping rough for more than half my life now
It’s kind of hard to find a purpose in this pipe smoke
I sit and wonder where did all my life go
This disenchantment is all I have to call my own
These dirty stairs to the shops are the place I call home
(Chorus)
If every king deserves a castle then the truth is
My kingdom is out of reach because this world has left me roofless
Can you fathom how it feels
To watch the world passing by
While you’re begging for a meal
And no one looks you in your eyes
So can you fathom how it feels
To see the people pass by
While they’re shopping for a deal
And no one looks you in your eyes
I’m from a corner where these shadows want to murder ya
With hyperdermics to tackle the hypothermia
I’m trying to make it through the winter where the season’s bad
And police officers came and they took my sleeping bag
(Chorus)
If every king deserves a castle then the truth is
My kingdom is out of reach because this world has left me roofless
(Verse 1)
I’m losing dignity every time I choose to eat
And now there’s metal spikes where I used to sleep
I used to play guitar and busk in the spotlight
Until I lost a couple fingers to the frostbite
And overall it’s like I’m barely even visible
This mental struggle took its toll upon my physical
I sit and watch the street devoured by its owns traps
And people wonder why the hell I wanna smoke cracks
(Chorus)
Every king deserves a kingdom then the truth is
My kingdom is out of reach because this world has left me roofless
(Verse 2)
They keep on telling us there is no second night out
But I’ve been sleeping rough for more than half my life now
It’s kind of hard to find a purpose in this pipe smoke
I sit and wonder where did all my life go
This disenchantment is all I have to call my own
These dirty stairs to the shops are the place I call home
(Chorus)
If every king deserves a castle then the truth is
My kingdom is out of reach because this world has left me roofless
Can you fathom how it feels
To watch the world passing by
While you’re begging for a meal
And no one looks you in your eyes
So can you fathom how it feels
To see the people pass by
While they’re shopping for a deal
And no one looks you in your eyes
