I keep a lighter in my pocket
Since the fall of 2005
I was there
Waiting on a revelation
I was lucky to get out alive
I was looking for a name
For a place to
Begin again
Was I a man dreaming of a drug
Or a drug dreaming of a man?
Life or d**h
Transmissions from the liberation front
Broken English on invisible wires
So far gone I didn't cast a shadow
I believed I was born a liar
I was looking for a name
For a place to begin again
I was a man losing his voice
For words misused and things unsaid
Life or d**h
Hard won
The sweet and aimless morning
The second son
Who learned to speak by counting
Is moving on
Well free of understanding
I was lucking to get out alive
