Anonymous Lyrics

Do you remember that ball and chain

Held you hostage inside your own brain

Do you remember tearing holes in your day

As deep as all the thoughts you drank away

I have seen you around Little Rock

Man about town with his brain in his cock

Telling stories just to fill up the day

Waiting for time itself to fade away

I have lived with that guilt

Been brought down by that shame

I can tell you that much

But I can't tell you my name

One day you just might come back to this earth

Babbling stories about gods and rebirth

I just hope you learn how doors unlock

And don't go call for help by throwing rocks

Every time I see you take your seat

I see the face of every man's defeat

I hope you give yourself the time to heal

There's only so much of this life you can steal
