Lyrics

Long away, for ago
I had what I thought was the best
I watched it slip fall and fade
I watched perfection become transgressed

I ripped up my roots, I change my name
I lived between polluted shores
I strained my ears to hear the wind
Tell me why was I born?

I am an orphan honey
I am a no-name nomad
Living in this great unknown
This place is good as any
And I’ve been to so many
I am an orphan child
Yes I’m an orphan but I’m better on my own

Why this race, this blood, this face
These hands, these eyes and these miles?
Between the graves and city plagues
To seek the ease of empty smiles

Friendships fought for then betrayed
Buy a kiss in the solemn night
And money that was gone before it was made and hunger that lost its appetite

I’m an orphan honey
I am a transient soul
My family tree’s on fire
And I don’t belong here
Or any place near
I am in orphan child
With a heart of barbed wire

I used to walk these streets amazed
Head ablaze in every town
I used to study every new face
Now I keep my keys to the ground

Why this language and why these dreams
And why must I hate what I create?
And why this mind full of twisted vines
Lifelines and fates I can’t escape

I am an orphan honey
I am a passing stranger
I don’t have that much to say
There’s part of me you’ll never see
I am in orphan child and my home’s still far away
